Flood Takes His Time

With the small Wall Of Railers still surrounding the table, Liam Flood raised to 950 in early position, only for Mihai Manole to reraise to a whopping 5,300. Flood went into the tank for some time. "I think you're ahead," he said eventually, but decided to dwell some more for good measure. Jamie Gold, not in the hand, apparently got bored at this point and bought the services of a masseuse. "Hi, I'm Jamie," he drawled and they shook hands before the lady began pummeling his shoulder muscles. At last, Flood gave it up and Manole took down the pot.
