Longest Hand of the Tournament
Jared Ingles opened for 100,000 and Daniel De Almeida initially raised to 140,000 until he was told that wasn't a legal raise and made it to 150,000. When action went back to him, Ingles took his time, as if waiting for something, looking at De Almeida, considering his options, until finally making the call.
The flop came A♥Q♠5♦. Ingles checked prompting De Almeida to bet another 100,000 into the pot. Ingles mulled over the situation, considering what he'll do next. He looked at the board, looked at De Almeida, looked at the board, unmoving except for his eyes. The blinds had gone up as Ingles continued to consider. He finally made the call.
The turn 10♦ dropped and the same dynamic happened. De Almeida kept the pressure with a 225,000 bet. And with action back to him, Ingles, once again went into deep thought, motionless. He decided to stay on.
Finally the river Q♥ was dealt and after another check, De Almeida shoved all in for 460,000 sending Ingles to a longer tank. Ingles finally moved, combing his hair with his hands, considering what to do.
The floor arrived saying he was called because someone called the clock. None of the players did making the floor leave but after a few seconds, Preston Willier, who was at the table, called clock.
Ingles waited for the last second before ultimately mucking his hand. As the dealer pushed the chips towards De Almeida's direction, Mark Marcellus who was the shortest stack had to comment, "That hand took seventeen minutes."
The hand started as Level 25 was finishing and lasted more than halfway through Level 26.
