Rawtani Flushed Out Twice
Nitesh Rawtani had made it 144,000 to go preflop when Dustin Nelson put in the raise to 456,000, sending Rawtoni into the tank.
"How much is in your stack total?" Rawtani asked Nelson, who replied with 693,000.
Rawtani then proceeded to tank for over seven minutes as he ate his sandwich. "I'm never supposed to fold this..." he admitted.
"Classic sandwich decision, eh?" another player joked as the time dragged by.
Rawtani finally decided just to call, and the two players went to a flop of 3?2?9?, where Nelson wasted no time moving all in for 237,000.
"Well, I've come this far," Rawtani said after another two-minute round of tanking and made the call.
Dustin Nelson: A?K?9?8?
Nitesh Rawtani: A?K?K?Q?
"Oh, so you DON'T have aces!" Rawtani sounded relieved as he was ahead with his pocket kings, but the turn immediately killed him as it came the 7? to give Nelson the nut flush.
"How do you get rewarded with that hand against mine!? Rawtani was astonished as the river 6? shipped the pot over to Nelson.
"I cant believe you tanked that long with that hand!" Nelson retorted, " You just wasted nine and a half minutes of our time!"
Left short, Rawtani then got it all in the very next hand with pocket kings, and once again, Shaome Yang hit the nut diamond flush on the turn to send him shaking his head all the way to the payout desk.
