Level 3
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Ari Engel opened to 1,000 in middle position and was the only caller when Alper Gocer three-bet to 3,500 in the cutoff.
Playing in flow, Engel checked to Gocer on a 9♣5♦6♦ flop, who bet 3,000. Engel then check-raised to 11,100, which Gocer called.
The J♦ turn action then took a little while to complete. Engel continued with a bet of 18,000, which sent Gocer deep into the tank. After several minutes had passed, Gocer still hadn't come to a decision, but the table seemed more than happy to let him keep thinking. Another minute or so passed, and Gocer had decided what to do, as he returned his cards to the dealer, giving Engel the pot.
