Moore Three-Bet's Turn to Get Fold

Level 11 : 1,200/2,400, 2,400 ante

Action was picked up on the turn with the board reading {4-Hearts}{4-Spades}{10-Spades}{4-Diamonds}. Laura Moore had bet 15,000 and was raised to 35,000 by her opponent. Moore then moved a full stack of the big chips into the middle for a three-bet which was enough to put her opponent all in.

Her opponent went deep into the tank and stared her down and studied the board while the rest of the players at the table were being racked up for a table change. Everyone was interested in the outcome of the hand and they waited patiently on the decision for several moments. After over two minutes her opponent laid down his hand and Moore did not show her hand as she took in the pot.
