The Elusive Four-Bet Pot, Dancing Stacks
Level 22
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Damir Stefanic raised to 60,000 in early position, and James Stern made it 160,000 on his direct left.
It folded halfway across the table to Timothy Neufeld, who went all in for 490,000.
Stefanic didn't take too long mucking his hand, but when it got to Stern, he went deep in the tank. He asked for a count and was then chastised by his table-mates for trying to get a read on Neufeld's hand by talking to him.
After doing what seemed to be some mental math and gymnastics, Stern eventually passed, pushing his hand in the muck, awarding the pot to Neufeld.
