Sweeney Can't Pull the Trigger
Andrew Sweeney just spent five minutes in the tank on the river in a hand against Sotirios Koutoupas, guessed the Greek's exact hand but couldn't quite make the call.
Koutoupas raised to 32,000 from the cut-off and then called when Sweeney three-bet to 76,000. On the 
flop Sweeney c-bet 65,000 and Koutoupas made the call. On the 
turn Sweeney slowed down, checking it to Koutoupas who bet 135,000, call from Sweeney.
There was now 540,000 in the pot and the 
completed the board. Sweeney checked, Koutoupas asked Sweeney how much he was playing, "about 370,000," replied Sweeney. The Greek player then pushed forward a stack of 500,000 to set Sweeney all-in. The Irishman looked to the heavens, looked at the tournament clock (there's a pay jump between 24th and 23rd) and then started thinking over his decision.
"Have you got pocket threes that got counterfeited?" asked Sweeney? Another minute or so passed and Sweeney pushed his cards into the muck, Koutoupas showed 
as he took the pot and Sweeney tapped the table in a way that indicated he'd passed ace high.
