Racinskas Folds Queens Preflop After a Long Tank
Level 18
: 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
A player min-raised from under the gun. Jari Saviaho flatted from one seat over before Martynas Racinskas sitting next to him three-bet to 48,000.
The action folded back around to the original raiser who promptly folded. Saviaho tanked for a minute before he declared himself all-in.
Racinskas looked like he was in pain and asked for a count. The dealer counted and told him that his opponent had 448,000, which more than covered the about 350,000 that Racinskas had to start the hand.
One minute went by, then two, then three. The tank went on for a total of seven minutes. Racinskas finally asked if I fold and show will you do the same.
He then open-folded 
and we will never know if he would have won the race or not with Saviaho turning over
