Ponce Goes Deep into the Tank
Daniele Primerano kicked the action off with a raise in early position to 30,000, and the player to his immediate left called. Action was then on Diego Ponce in the cutoff, who put in a three-bet to 175,000.
When play folded back to Primerano, he moved all in for 1,375,000. The player to his left folded, but Ponce wasn't so quick to muck his hand.
Ponce went deep into the tank. A few minutes passed by, then a few more minutes. He then employed some table talk, trying to get more information.
"Are you nervous?" he asked Primerano.
"It's a big pot,” replied Primerano, "A little bit [nervous].” "In any case, I would prefer you fold,” continued Primerano.
Armed with precious little extra information, Ponce returned to trying to figure out what to do. After a couple more minutes passed, and with a painstaking look on his face, he elected to fold.
