Buhaiov Runs Top Pair Into Szwarcberg's Aces
Nazar Buhaiov opened to 450,000 from under the gun and Tomas Szwarcberg three-bet to 1,300,000 in middle position. The action folded back to Buhaiov who called to see a flop of 10♥5♠4♣.
Buhaiov checked to Szwarcberg who continued with a bet of 750,000. Buhaiov called and the 8♥ landed on the turn. Buhaiov checked again and the action was back on Szwarcberg who thought for around a minute.
"Go ahead and take 12 minutes to play this hand," Will Kassouf said as he did laps around the table. "I get 10 seconds but you take as much time as you want, I don't care. Live poker, folks! This is what everyone wants to watch!"
Szwarcberg proceeded to slide out a bet of 2,200,000 and Buhaiov eventually slid out a call. The river was the 6♥ and both players checked. Buhaiov turned over A♠10♠ for top pair but Szwarcberg held A♥A♣ for a pair of aces to claim the pot.
Kassouf was then warned not to do another lap around the table or his penalty would be escalated to two rounds which he can ill-afford at this point.
