The Tanking Epidemic
Roman Rogovskyi opened to 2,700 from the button but was then three-bet to 14,500 by the big blind.
After thinking about it for a second, Rogovskyimade the call and the two went to a flop of Q♠7♣10♦ and the big blind continued for 11,000.
After some deep thought, Rogovskyi called once more and the duo went to the turn 10♠.
After taking 30 seconds for the big blind to check, Rogovskyi also went deep into the tank only to check back to see the 9♥ fall on the river.
The big blind then tanked yet again, for almost a full minute this time before checking it over to Rogovskyi, who also sat there for a full two minutes.
He finally announced he was all in, and the big blind didn't spend any more time thinking before he made the fold, and the pot was pushed to Rogovskyi.
Meanwhile, at a neighboring table, Dan Shak was complaining about how slow his table was with so many people tanking.
