David Salituro

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Nicholas Marchington raised to 1,000 in the hijack before Yaniv Peretz three-bet to 3,200 in the small blind. Marchington came back with a four-bet to 7,000 and Peretz called.

The flop came 6♠9♦7♦ and Marchington bet 7,000. Peretz called and the 10♥ fell on the turn.

He checked to Marchington, who sat motionless for several minutes before putting in another 8,000. Peretz called to see the 2♣ river.

Peretz checked again, and Marchington once more took more than a minute before betting 45,000. Peretz only had around 15,000 remaining and also tanked for a few minutes. He eventually folded and Marchington took the lengthy pot.
