The Never Ending Hand
Warning: This hand took forever to play and was extremely anti-climactic.
The under-the-gun player min-raised to 1,200, and the next two guys to act flat called. Then Li Xin Cai made it 6,700 to go. On her immediate left, Kenny Shih cold four-bet shoved. Action instantly folded back to the original raiser (the only part of the hand that happened quickly). He asked for a count and learned that Shih was all in for a total of 21,700. After some thought, he folded, as did the next player. Then the second flatter started his tanking. It took him two minutes to give up his hand. Clearly, Cai hadn't used that time to figure out what she was going to do. It took her another three minutes to make the call. Finally, showdown! versus . The board ran out a chop, and everyone waved goodbye to ten minutes of their lives they'll never get back.
