Slowrolling — it's a divisive topic in the poker world. Some players take great joy in taking part in the act, while for others, it's their biggest pet peeve when at the table.
There have been plenty of examples that have made headlines over the years, with Nik Airball's slowroll on Ethan 'Rampage' Yau on Hustler Casino Live being a recent case study.
Sungwoo Tae opened the action with a raise to 2,200 from the hijack. The cutoff called before the small blind three-bet to 11,500. Tae moved all in for 29,500 and the small blind made the call, covering Tae.
Sungwoo Tae: A♥A♣
Small Blind: 8♦8♠

Asher Conniff has had a good start to the tournament, about tripling his starting stack. However, in this one he had to give some back to Michael Zulker.
Action was caught on the 3♦10♠5♣3♠ turn, where Conniff bet 9,000 into a pot of about 20,000 chips. Zulker in early position called.
The river was the A♠. Zulker checked to Conniff, who decided to check behind. Zulker turned over the A♣10♣ for aces and tens, Conniff held on to his cards for a moment and then mucked.
A player under the gun raised to 2,100 when Daniel Buzgon three-bet all in for 16,100. Then a player from middle position made the call. When action folded to the under the gun player, he folded leaving the two players heads up, with Buzgon at risk.
Daniel Buzgon: Q♥Q♦
Middle Position: J♥J♦
Buzgon was in great shape for the double and when the Q♠7♣K♦ flop came out giving Buzgon a set, the middle position player would need running cards to bust Buzgon. But the 5♣ turn left Buzgon's opponent drawing dead, and the 10♦ river secured him the double up.
