Konstantinos Tsirakidis opened to 2,700, and only Jennifer Harman called to see a heads-up flop. It came 
, and Tsirakidis continued out with another 3,200. Harman raised to put him all in, and Tsirakidis spent a long while in the tank. Some table chatter broke out between him and his neighbors, and we were distracted for a moment by another hand at the adjacent table while he considered the decision for the ~18,000 he had left.
When we looked back, Tsirakidis had folded, and someone (we think Harman) had showed ace-jack.
