Back and Forth We Go

Level 25 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

There has been virtually no movement in the chip stacks since heads-up play began, and we're hunkered down for a potentially long fight here. A moment ago, we picked up the most notable pot that's happened in about a half hour:

Ali Eslami raised to 45,000 from the button, and Tim West flicked the calling chips into the pot to see a flop.

It came {3-Diamonds} {9-Clubs} {Q-Spades}, and it check-checked to the {5-Hearts} turn. West took the lead now with 65,000 of his own chips, and Eslami made a deliberate call to see the final card. It was the {2-Hearts}, and West grabbed a bet to force Eslami into a 165,000-chip decision. That decision took a few minutes, but Eslami eventually settled on a fold to let West take it.

During the next shuffle, the two men bantered back and forth a bit, as they've been doing throughout this match.

"I'm on tilt now," Eslami said flatly.

"Wait, you're on tilt? Why are you on tilt?" West asked.

"I'm just kidding," Eslami answered, looking up to smirk. "I don't tilt. You probably knew that already too."
