Keating Sends Perez Into Tank in Long Hand
Action was joined on the flop with the board reading A?K?10?. From the hijack, Alex Keating bet 70,000. Roberto Perez raised to 170,000 from middle position, Keating called, with each action taking at least two minutes.
The turn was the 4?. Both players checked.
The river came the 8?. Perez thought for a full minute before leading for 275,000. Keating thought for a couple of minutes himself before jamming all in.
Perez leaned back and prepared for a long tank as his remaining amount of about 875,000 was at stake. He shifted in his chair a few times as the table around watched as well with their table also in the midst of a big river decision hand. With the cameras on him, Perez finally laid it down after a 5 minute and 22 second tank (per the tourney clock at start of decision).
Keating held on to his cards for a while as he contemplated whether to show or not, and eventually slid them into the muck face down as his holding remained a mystery.
