Slow Going

There is no shortage of action at the table right now, but the pace of play is excruciatingly slow. Each flopped hand is dragging out for more than five minutes, some taking much, much longer than that.

In the last hand, Brent Sheirbon opened with a raise to 13,000. Both Rob Woodcock in late position and Joel Micka in the big blind called, and it was three-handed to the flop.

It brought {4-Clubs} {3-Diamonds} {5-Spades}, and the betting was checked around to Woodcock. He put out a bet of 25,000, and that's when the hand came to a screeching halt. Micka went into the tank for a minute or two before quietly announcing, "I raise." He slid out a multi-colored stack of chips totaling 90,000. Next to act was Sheirbon, and he too went into the tank for a little while. Finally, he did let his hand go, and the tanking was on Woodcock. And tank he did. For more than five minutes, Woodcock sat statue-still, occasionally shuffling a handful of chips, but mostly just staring at the board. After what seemed like an eternity, he too folded, and the pot went to Micka.
