Dempsey’s Tank

We caught up with the action heads up on a {J-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} flop where James Dempsey in early position check-called a bet of 2,750 fairly quickly from a player in middle position. On the {3-Spades} turn, Dempsey checked again and his opponent fired 9,500. Dempsey proceeded to go into the tank and just stared at the board for a good five minutes as he shuffled some chips. Eventually, he softly pushed his cards towards the muck and dropped to below the starting stack.
