[user66118]

Huck Seed opened the pot with a raise to 25,000 from middle position, and only short stack Anthony Aboukhalil came along with him, making the call from the big blind for a significant chunk of his stack.

The flop showed up {8-Diamonds}

, and Aboukhalil checked. While Seed was mulling it over, Aboukhalil said, "Thirty thousand," preemptively answering Seed's request for a count. After another minute or two, Seed checked behind.

The turn card was the {10-Diamonds}

, and Aboukhalil passed again. Seed paused before making the bet to put his opponent to a decision for his tournament life. Aboukhalil would take four or five minutes to consider before quietly saying, "Pass," pushing his cards back to the dealer and saving his four big blinds for a better spot.
