Wang went into the tank for a bit before calling the raise, and the flop brought out

Wang moved forward a tall stack, with which he put Hanna all in. After a few minutes Wang's opponent called the clock on himself, and another 30 seconds later he opted to fold.
"That was the most difficult fold in the last," Hanna said before pausing, "In the last hour and a half."
The players at the table laughed, while Wang now sits on 53,000 chips.
