Danny Noam Makes a Big Laydown

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

One player limped in early position as did Danny Noam on the button. Bill Gazes called from the small blind and Ram Vaswani exercised his big blind option by raising to 50K total. The early-position player passed, Noam made the call and Gazes threw his hand away. It was heads-up to the flop of {9-Diamonds}

. Vaswani bet 80K and Noam went into the tank. Noam thought for several minutes and then called the clock on himself. Halfway through the countdown Noam folded his hand, but tossed in the {9-Clubs}

face-up. Vaswani showed no emotion as he dragged the pot. Noam stepped away from the table momentarily to regroup.
