From the button, Allie Prescott made it 40,000 to play, and Gary Friedlander defended his big blind with a call.

The flop came {J-Diamonds} {J-Clubs} {5-Clubs}, and Friedlander knocked the table. Prescott bet something with a "five" at the end, possibly 45,000, and Friedlander slid out a check-raise to 92,000 total. Prescott took a couple minutes to stare his opponent down before matching the raise with a call.

That led them to the innocuous looking {6-Hearts} turn, and Friedlander took pause now. After some mental gymnastics, he settled on a bet of 134,000, sliding it forward in a neatly-stacked technicolor tower. Prescott double-checked his hole cards, then spent some more time in the tank before plunking the call into the pot.

The {8-Hearts} was the last card off the deck, and Friedlander again took a few minutes to think before announcing his all in. The call represented Prescott's full stack of about 250,000 as Friedlander had him slightly covered. Prescott checked his cards one last time, chewed on it a bit more, then surrendered his cards into the muck.
