On a flop Yehuda Cohen check-called a bet of 2,200 from Dirk Schroter. The turn was the and was checked by both players. The river was the and Cohen checked, with Schroter putting out a bet of 7,500.

"4,000 I snap call," said Cohen. "5,000 also I snap call." Cohen took his time and eventually a British player at the table called the clock.

"It's not an all in," explained the British player, "but you've already tanked for three minutes. If it was an all in I wouldn't have called the clock!"

"The levels are 45 minutes! I can take my time!" said Cohen, but the British player wasn't having it.

The floor came and as the seconds ticked down, Cohen appeared to wait until three seconds left before releasing his chips for a call. Schroter turned over for top pair top kicker and took down the pot.

"I hadn't made up my mind," said Cohen, counting how many chips he was left with.

"No you hadn't!" said the British player, remonstrating with Cohen.

"Look you two," said a third player, also British, "Just take it outside and go and have a fight!"

Yehuda Cohen	60,000
