. Tan check called another bet from Nguyen, this time of 22,600, and the river brought the 
. Here's where things got lengthy.
Tan thought for about a minute before betting out 19,200, and Nguyen tanked for about 90 seconds before coming back with a raise to 66,200. Tan went deep, deeeeep into the tank. After about three minutes, he finally spoke, asking "why so big?". Nguyen didn't respond, and after at least two more minutes of thinking, Nguyen began to get antsy, clearly bothered by how long Tan was taking. The clock was never called, and after a tank that lasted about six minutes, Tan said "fold" and flashed the

The hand started with Milan Gurung opening to 6,000 from middle position, and finding a call from Lingling Teng in the hijack. The action folded around to Ivan Tan on the big blind, who moved all in for his last 66,300 in chips.

Gurung:
Tan:
Board: 
Tan was in the lead, and was looking the goods to win the hand, until the dealer produced the queen on the river to see him eliminated on the money bubble.
