Tanking Gavin

Gavin Smith raised it up from early position and was called by a player in the next seat and the BB to see a flop came {A-Spades} {K-Clubs} {10-Hearts}. Smith led for 350 and was only called by his neighbor before the turn was revealed as {5-Hearts}. Smith led for 925 this time, but was quickly raised all-in for another 2,275. Quick was the raise but slow was the decision to fold from Smith. It was a good five minute tank.
