You Know You're Going to Fold

Byron Kaverman opened from early position to 65,000 and Eric Afriat made it 130,000 to go from the cutoff. Kaverman made the call and the two would see a 
flop.
Kaverman checked, Afriat bet 160,000, and Kaverman called.
The turn was the 
and Kaverman checked again. Afriat made it 370,000 this time, almost half his stack, and Kaverman went into the tank. Afriat leaned forward, his lips pursed, looking directly at Kaverman. After about two minutes had passed, he called the floor for a clock. The floor gave Kaverman another minute before actually starting the count down as they determined it had not been a sufficient amount of time yet.
As they are waiting, Afriat is leaning back in his chair, looking as if he is more interested in what is on the television than what Kaverman is doing. Finally as the clock is about to wind down, Kaverman folds. Afriat looks over at him and says "you know you're going to fold so why take so much time?"
