Reluctant River Fold

There is a relatively subdued atmosphere in the dedicated poker room so far today, which is not too surprising given the early hour and the prospect of a long day ahead. That doesn’t mean there aren’t moments of tension however.
On Table 15 three players had got to the river of a board reading 
. The player in seat six was first to act and he bet 6,000 into a pot of 11,000. The player to his left mucked his cards pretty quickly but the player in seat eight looked tortured. His hands gripped his cards in his left hand and he seemed to change his mind several times over the few minutes it took to decide. His opponent sat patiently and eventually what looked like a reluctant fold did come with no further remarks. It was a valuable pot but the calling chips remained in his stack for another time.
