Long Split Pot
Level 26
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Vlad Murgulet opened to 160,000 from the hijack, then saw Gheorghe Butuc three-bet to 680,000 in the big blind.
For more than two minutes, Murgulet struggled to make a decision, but he eventually called. He went into the tank again on the flop 4?J?3?, after Butuc bet 350,000. But once again, Murgulet called.
Butuc slowed down on the turn 9? by checking. But it didn't make it easier for Murgulet, who still took a long time to check back.
Finally, the 7? landed on the river and both players checked quickly. But as they both had AxKx, they split the pot.
