Jeremy Fign open-jammed a stack of 297,000 in the cutoff as action folded to Ryan Burr in the big blind.
What proceeded was three minutes of deliberation from Burr, who first requested the dealer separate 40,000 from Fign's stack so he could see how much more it was to call.
"Sorry guys," Burr said two minutes into his tank, followed by a series of mutters. "Hmmmm. Ughhh. Uhhhhhh."
Burr then scratched his man bun and muttered some more before sending his cards to the muck.
"It was close," he told Fign. "I think I gave you a reprieve there."
