Casimir Seire opened under the gun to 13,000 and action folded all the way around to Toby Joyce who defended his big blind.
The A♥10♦J♣ flop hit the felt and Joyce check-called a 17,000 bet from Seire on their way to an 8♥ turn.
Joyce checked again before calling the larger 60,000 turn bet of Seire. The 2♣ rolled off on the river and after Joyce checked Seire went into the tank for almost a minute before announcing he was all in.
Joyce went deep into the tank as he burned through almost four of his time banks. Eventually he found a fold and the pot was pushed to Seire.
