Motoyoshi Okamura bet on fifth street, and Jake Schwartz called. Okamura made an open pair on sixth street and continued firing, with Schwartz tossing in another call.
On seventh street, Okamura bet again. Schwartz thought for several minutes, apologizing to his tablemates.
"Take your time, Jake," Craig Chait encouraged Schwartz.
"Let's just go for dinner," Esther Taylor suggested as there were about 40 minutes left to play in the level, and she and Chait were discussing their order at their preferred restaurant.
"This is the longest I've ever tanked in a hand in my life," Schwartz claimed as some more time passed by. "If this was stud nine or better, I'd call."
Eventually, Schwartz tossed his hand into the muck, revealing two aces as he did so. Okamura returned the favor by revealing a wheel, and Schwartz got a standing ovation from Chait and Taylor before the next hand was dealt.
