With Martin Prusa raising to 1,800 preflop, a short-stacked Nikolaj Tsanev pushed all in from mid position. With his arms folded, he stood behind his chair and waited patiently as the action grounded to a halt on seat one. Clearly with a tricky decision to make, seat one rubbed his chin, scratched his head and shook his head slightly. Forget a knife, you could cut the tension with a toothpick; you could just sense a big pot was near. A minute or two later, one player asked, "You do realise it's your go, don't you?" to which seat one responded with an immediate fold.
With the rest of the players giggling, play found it's way back to Prusa, who made the call and showed . Tsanev tabled . With no diamonds in the hole, it was Prusa who took the pot, and the scalp of his Bulgarian foe, on a board.
Prusa now on 40,000, but Steven Zadelhoff, who claimed to be very happy with his table, is doing slightly better with 63,000.
