Timoshenko Takes One From Polychronopoulos

Action folded to Athanasios Polychronopoulos in the small blind who called. Yevgeniy Timoshenko was in the big blind and decided to check his option. The flop came {k-Spades}{10-Clubs}{7-Clubs} and Polychronopoulos check-called a bet of 80,000 from Timoshenko. The turn brought the {k-Diamonds} and Polychronopoulos again check-called a bet from Timoshenko, this time for 210,000. When the {j-Hearts} hit on the river Polychronopoulos checked once more and Timoshenko bet 450,000.

In what we have now dubbed the "level of long hands," Polychronopoulos went into the tank for a good five minutes, counting out the chips to make the call over and over again before eventually folding his hand.

With this much money and a gold bracelet at stake, it's no wonder that these players are taking their time in making decisions.
