Level 27 : 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Ludovic Geilich raised to 285,000 from the cutoff and was called by Andreas Christoforou on the button. Florian Duta three-bet to 3,000,000, leaving himself with 115,000 behind. Basil Yaiche quickly folded his big blind and so did Geilich. Christoforou tanked, counted out his stack, asked the dealer to count Duta's bet, and wanted to see how much Duta had behind.

"Can I go to the toilet?" Selahaddin Bedir asked Christoforou as he was tanking for a while.

"Yes, go, go!" Christoforou replied, "I need a lot of time".

"Can I go too?" Duta said with a laugh and Christoforou smiled.

Christoforou was contemplating his options for a bit longer and Bedir returned: "Now you can pass!".

"Or call..." Christoforou commented.

After a while, Christoforou opted to let his hand go.

"Pick one," Duta offered.

"King!" Yaiche predicted.

Christoforou picked the left card which was the {k-Hearts}.
