The flop brought out 
and Heinecker, who was first to act, shoved all in for a staggering 88,200 chips. This big overshove caught Esfandiari of guard and he went into the tank for several minutes.
"Shall I hero call?" Esfandiari asked himself, or the table, as he thought about it some more. Esfandiari expressed that it was okay for any player to call the clock on him, but everyone remained silent. The One Drop winner tried to get a response out of Heinecker who sat motionless throughout this whole show. Even waving his hand in front of Heinecker's face had no effect and finally Esfandiari kissed his chips goodbye as he put in the call.
