We saw John Andress reraise to 3,600 after an undetermined open from Taylor von Kriegenbergh under the gun.

The pro decided to put the pressure back on Andress with a four-bet to 6,500. Andress took his time to make a decision, beginning one of many extended tanks during this slow burn of hand. Finally, he came along for the ride and the flop fell {k-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{2-Spades}.

With his own freeze job on the flop now underway, von Kriegenbergh staring across the table for a while before leading out with a 5,300 wager. After a minute or so, Andress flatted and fourth street came {6-Clubs}. Both players knuckled the felt on the turn, and the {5-Hearts} completed the board on the river.

Another exchange of long tanks ultimate produced nothing but checks, and von Kriegenbergh asked "ace nine?" while tabling his {a-Clubs}{9-Hearts}. Andress answered without a word, showing his {k-Hearts}{q-Spades} to claim the pot with top pair.
