A Little Dab'll Do Ya
After a player opened for 2,500 in early position and another flatted from middle position, Timothy Little decided to pump it up with a three-bet to 7,500 from the hijack seat.
The original raiser came along for the ride and the caller got out of the way, leaving Little and a lone opponent to take the flop.
After a check to him, Little continuation bet for 11,500 and watched as his opponent dove deep into the tank. As the man held his hands to his face and pondered his options, the seconds melted away into minutes.
“Did I run into kings here, Tim?” asked the man from across the table before apologizing for taking so long. “Sorry guys.”
After more than five minutes had passed, another player at the table opted to call the clock, and with the one-minute countdown underway the tanker tossed his hand into the muck. Little slid his cards to the dealer and traded them for a sizable pot, giving himself a bit of breathing room late on this first day of play.
