Tabatabai Tosses Tens

[user46298]

Gus Hansen has moved all in for bucketloads of chips on the flop so far today three times, and it's three for three "no call" from his deepstacked opponents. This hand saw Hansen raising preflop to 33k, called by Oyvind Riisem. Big blind John Tabatabai then re-raised to 120k. Hansen thought for a minute and called, Riisem passed immediately.

Flop: {9-Spades}

Now Tabatabai checked, and Gus Hansen announced that he was all in (he covered his young opponent, who had around 400k left). While Tabatabai thought for five minutes, his opponent stared at a fixed point on the table in front of him and remained completely motionless. "Can I show a card?" asked John. "Not without receiving a penalty. The answer is no."

Eventually he passed, showing {10-Hearts}
