Whiskey and Stall Tactics
Miltiadis Kyriakides raised it up from the cutoff on the first hand back from the break. Yueqi Zhu was in the tank in the big blind and Kyriakides questioned how long it was taking. Zhu instantly folded but the floor was called as the two players started discussing how much time had been wasted.
"I took 40 seconds to fold," Ashok Kamani chimed in as one of the shorter stacks who was sipping on a fresh whiskey on ice.
"One minute is fine," Kyriakides agreed. "But that was too long."
"You can take a minute," Youness Barakat piped up. "This guy just learnt English four days ago and now he's trying to show off," he pointed to Kyriakides.
The next hand was delayed by at least two minutes as the players engaged in a discussion with the floor.
"I knew there was gonna be bullsh** after dinner break. That's why I grabbed one of these," Kamani joked as he took another sip of his whiskey.
