Cotolan Check-Raises the Turn
A player raised to 6,000 from under the gun and action folded around to Alin Cotolan, who called out of the small blind. The flop came 
and Cotolan checked to his opponent, who made a continuation-bet of 7,000. Cotolan called.
The turn fell 
and Cotolan checked again. His opponent fired a second barrel of 9,000.
"How much is that?" asked Cotolan. The dealer reached over and fanned the chips out to confirm the amount. Cotolan then fanned out more chips onto the table, check-raising to 24,000. His opponent went into the tank.
While thinking, the player counted out his stack, which totaled 58,000. He put it back in order and thought some more. After about 90 seconds, he began to put all of his chips into one tall stack. Several chips fell over while doing so and he calmly picked them up to complete the stack, making it look as if he was about to slide the chips forward to three-bet all in.
Instead, the player took his hand off the stack of chips and put it onto his cards. He peeled his cards up to look back at them and thought for another 15 seconds.
"Clock," said the player in the six-seat from across the table. The dealer called a floor and by the time one was present, Cotolan's opponent sent his cards to the muck.
Cotolan said something to his opponent and turned over 
for a turned top pair, top kicker. The player remarked saying that he had a king as well, and that it was a sick turn. He then said he folded king-jack.
"You should have busted me twice already," the player then said to Cotolan. Even without a knockout, Cotolan continues to build and now finds himself with 179,000.
