Anytime we notice a pot with a few of the baby blue T5000 chips already up for grabs at this stage in the proceedings, it pays to stick around and see what happens.

In this case, a tank-fold wasn't the most exciting occasion to observe, but Micah Raskin is probably pleased with the result nonetheless.

Raskin bet 10,000 into a pot with about 18,000, with the final board reading {10-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{9-Clubs}. Vanessa Selbst quickly folded to leave Raskin fading one more fold to take the pot. His opponent tanked for a solid three minutes, but as is usually the case when they wait that long, the cards were eventually slid into the muck.

"Show the bluff..." begged another player at the table, prodding Raskin to make the rookie mistake of showing his hand. "One time!"

Raskin just smiled in response though, content to chip up while confounding his tablemates at the same time.
