This forced his opponent to go deep in the tank.
He counted out his chips, and eyeballed Tehan's stack for over two minutes. He continued to think for another minute or so, counting out his chips to assess the damage. Finally, after nearly 3 minutes of thinking, he chucked in the call, and Tehan showed for an ace high flush. His opponent started to shake his head, but didn't muck his hand yet.
