Ugurtas then proceeded to tank for nine whole minutes, spending that time talking out loud, checking his cards again, asking what Miles had, then counting his chips, on repeat. The players were also on the edge of a pay jump, so that may have influenced his actions a bit.

Eventually, clock was called and was given a countdown of 30 seconds, and as the clock neared zero he threw in his cards. Miles then showed and Ugurtas tapped the table and admitted that had him beat, and that he'd made a good fold.
