Tank, Tank, Tank
On a flop of Q♠3♣5♠ and the pot at about 30,000, Michael McCarthy checked in the small blind and Michael Hans bet out for 9,000 from the big blind. McCarthy went into the tank for about three minutes before he check-raised to 24,000, which sent Hans into the tank for about two minutes before he made the call, and the players saw the 9♦ peel off on the turn.
McCarthy went into the tank again for 2-3 minutes before betting out for 42,000, which of course then sent Hans into the tank again, (PokerNews lost track of the time by now!) and he eventually called.
The 7♥ came on the river, and yes, you guessed it, McCarthy went into the tank again before he pushed out a bet of 140,000, and yes, this sent Hans into the tank, who eventually....................folded! The whole hand took approximately 12-15 minutes.
