The board read {3-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{8-Diamonds} and James Smith bet 24,000. Bill Rogers raised to 50,000. Smith then shoved all in for about 132,000. Rogers agonized for several minutes over his decision.

"You can't have aces," said Rogers, trying to talk himself through Smith's possible holdings.

After a few more minutes Rogers tilted his hand up while still deciding his next move. Standing up, then kneeling on his chair, then standing again. The answer seemed to be eluding him, until finally he threw one orange chip into the pot.

"Alright, show me a four," he said, "I call."

Rogers turned over his hand, {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts} and Smith turned over his, {10-}{10-}. The river was the {8-Clubs} and Rogers won a huge pot shortly before play stops for the night.

"I'm sorry guys," Rogers said, apologizing to the table for taking so long to make his decision.
