Afriat Irritated at Pace of Play
Alex Gelinski raised to 6,000 and Thomas Eychenne three-bet to 22,500 from the small blind. Diego Vazsorgatto was in the big blind and was thinking about his decision.
"Every hand you have to tank for 20 minutes," piped up Eric Afriat apropos of nothing. Eventually Vazsorgatto called and Gelinski got out the way.
Eychenne check-called 15,000 on the A♣K♠4♠ flop and the turn was the 8♣. Both players checked and the 8♦ completed the board. Eychenne then placed enough chips in front of him to put Vazsorgatto all in, who once again thought over his decision.
Vazsorgatto eventually folded, setting off Afriat again.
"Can you play a little faster?" he asked Afriat, even though Vazsorgatto had just been contemplating a call for his tournament life.
"I don't think anyone is taking too long," said tablemate Jose Latorremarina, not doing much to dissuade Afriat's apparent discontent with proceedings.
