Martins Adeniya opened in middlle position and Ken Weinstein flat-called in the small blind, as did the big blind.

Weinstein and the big blind checked on the flop and Adeniya continued with a bet of 60,000. Weinstein then check-raised to 250,000 and only Adeniya called.

Weinstein bet 350,000 on the turn and his opponent tanked for several minutes.

"I'm happy to get it in if you want to get it in," Weinstein told his opponent. "But the action is on you."

Weinstein eventually called the clock and Adeniya was given 30 seconds to act. He folded about 10 seconds into the countdown.

Weinstein asked his opponent if he wanted to see his hand and then turned over for top pair.

Cards are in the air and play is now underway.
