Level 8
: 400/800, 100 ante
We found Wei Zhang and Edgar Perez on a flop with nearly 10,000 in the pot already. The board was 
, Zhang checked from the big blind, Perez bet 3,300 and Zhang check-raised to 10,000.
Perez thought for a bit and then called. The turn came 
, Zhang snap-shoved all in for a little more than 36,000 and Perez went deep into the tank. After a stretch, but not an outrageous amount of time, a player not involved in the hand called for the clock.
About halfway through his minute count down Perez let his hand go.
