Per of Kings

Big pot for Per Linde, and a tortured-looking call from Tristan Clemencon just now. It started fast, with a preflop raise from Linde, a flat call and then a big blind re-raise to 2,925 from Clemencon. Back to Linde, who fourbet (7,200), getting rid of the middle flatter but eventually luring in Clemencon.

The flop brought a splash of paint: {J-Hearts} {10-Spades} {A-Spades} but anyone expecting action would have been disappointed here as Clemencon checked behind Linde. The {Q-Spades} on the turn, likewise, appeared to interest neither player, and it took the {5-Clubs} and a check from Clemencon on the river before another bet was made. Clemencon now considered Linde's 10,500 bet, going through the gamut of decision-making processes you see at tournaments:

Asking him, "Do you have Queens?" and being told straight, "I won't tell..."

Getting the dealer to spread the pot and staring at it...

Counting out his stack, then picking up the call and shaking it dangerously over the line...

Finally he threw it in - and saw Linde with {K-Spades} {K-Clubs}. He drops to 35k, while Linde's up to around 60k.
