Zyrin Takes on Baba
Level 39
: 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Brett Apter raised to 160,000 on the button and Anatolii Zyrin called from the small blind. Shintaro Baba three-bet to 455,000, Apter folded, and Zyrin called.
The flop was 
and Zyrin checked. Baba bet 550,000, Zyrin check-raised to 1,250,000, and Baba dove deep into the tank. After taking nearly five minutes, the clock was called on him and the thirty-second countdown started.
When it was counted down to zero, Baba still hadn't decided and his hand was dead on the spot.
