Tare Takes His Time to Reveal the Nuts

Jonathan Tare
Jonathan Tare
Pot-limit Omaha:

Five players limped in, including Jonathan Tare, Erick Lindgren, and Josh Arieh. The small blind raised to 400, the big blind folded and all six limpers called.

The {10-Hearts} {8-Clubs} {7-Hearts} flop was checked around. The turn was the {J-Hearts} and the small blind led out for 1,500. Tare called from UTG and the rest of the table folded. The river was the {A-Clubs} and the small blind led again for 2,000. Tare picked up a 5,000-denomination chip and twirled it around for a bit before announcing a raise to 7,000. The small blind called.

Tare first revealed the {K-Hearts} ... then the {8-Hearts} ... and finally the {9-Hearts} for the straight flush. The pace and the order in which Tare flipped over his hole cards did not please his opponent one bit, the man expressing his desire to either return the favor or bust Tare if he got the opportunity.
