Action started on the flop with the board reading {9-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{5-Hearts}. Ezequiel Waigel checked from the big blind, Ian Matakis bet 18,000 from the cutoff. Waigel called.

On the {k-Hearts} turn, Waigel checked it over again. Matakis grabbed a stack of chips and bet 45,000. Waigel thought for about a minute and a half and then folded.

"Alright, gents, I've already decided I'm going to be pretty aggressive with the clock calls today, as a fair warning," said tablemate Craig Post. "What is that, four hands down, 15 minutes in?"
