Becker Slow-Rolls Riordan in the Ultimate Cooler
Jeremy Becker opened from the hijack to 5,000, and when it folded to John Riordan on the button, he three-bet to 15,500. It folded back to Becker, who then clicked it back to Riordan with a four-bet to 31,000. Riordan responded with a five-bet all in, slightly covering the 71,500 stack of Becker.
Becker then went into the tank saying, "I thought if I did you would think I have aces".
He continued to sit in the tank, saying "Do you have a pair?" If you promise you don't have a pair, I will give you action"
Finally, before a time extension was needed, he flipped in a chip to make the call.
John Riordan: K♠K♥ 
Jeremy Becker: A♥A♣
Becker had the table, including Riordan cracking up at the slow roll, but there would be no justice for Riordan as the board ran out 8♠A♦J♥7♠6♥ giving Becker the double up with his set of aces.
A few hands later Riordan was eliminated.
