Nível 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

The player on the button raised to 2,800 and Patrick Zellweger folded his small blind. British player Tom Hall squeezed from the big blind to 8,500 and the initial raiser made the call.

Hall fired 7,800 on and his opponent made the call. The hit the turn and Hall peeked at his cards, presumably to see if he had any clubs. Both players eventually checked.

The completed the board, making for four clubs on the table. Hall checked with 29,500 behind and his opponent moved all in after just 40 seconds of thinking.

Tom Hall went deep into the tank, so deep we could write the entire Brian Rast hand (see post underneath) before he had made his decision. After about 5 minutes thinking about it, he reluctantly slid his cards into the muck.
