Halleux In The Tank Again

We join the action on the river, in a hand between Julez and Fabrice Halleux, on a board. With around 75,000 in the middle, Julez decides to check the action over to Halleux, who bets 55,000.

Julez contorts his face into a frown, shuffles about in his seat a little, and reaches for a check-raise to 211,000. Halleux asks how much Julez has behind, and it looks to be around another 600,000. After a long dwell, something which the table seems to think is becoming a habit of Halleux's, the floor is called over and a 60-second clock is put on his decision.

After being given the 30-second reminder, Halleux announces, "fold," before showing for a flush, to quell any doubts that his long decision-making was anything less than legitimate. Julez applauds the fold, but doesn't show his cards as he drags in the pot.
