Tough One For Personen
Level 18
: 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
We caught the action with a ton of chips already in the pot when the board read 
. Lauri Personen checked to John O'Shea who bet 107,000. Personen went into the tank for a long time and then made the call.
The river brought out the and Personen checked again. O'Shea moved all in and sat motionless as Personen was contemplating a call. The Finnish player went into the tank for several minutes while Team PokerStars Pro Jason Mercier was explaining Team PokerStars Pro Theo Jorgensen that he was playing 50 games of Open Faced Chinese Poker on his iPad. Jorgensen seemed impressed and interested while Personen had a hard time making up his mind.
Ultimately Personen folded and O'Shea took down this pot.
