Brandon Cantu put out a min-raise from the button and Martin Jacobson three-bet to 17,000. Cantu plopped out a stack of red t25,000 chips for a four-bet that was enough to put Jacobson all in. It was at this point that Jacobson went into the tank.
After a few minutes, Cantu finally chirped up.
"So you were bluffing. Come on. Let's go."
"I'm not bluffing," Jacobson said in retort.
"You're thinking for five minutes. Come on. It's irritating. You're folding, just move onto the next hand."
Another minutes or so passed before Jacobson finally relented and released his hand, awarding Cantu the pot.
