Tropp Windmills the Airball
Level 26
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
With about 1,250,000 already in the pot on a completed board of J♠10♠3♠6♠10♣, Alex Faynshteyn was deep in the tank from the big blind after Mark Tropp jammed for 1,105,000 from early position.
With cameras surrounding the table, Faynshteyn was visibly on the fence. Holding only slightly more chips than Tropp, he repeatedly tried to engage him in conversation, but Tropp remained completely stoic, his eyes fixed on a point across the room.
After another minute or so, Faynshteyn finally folded.
The table immediately asked Tropp to show, and he happily obliged, windmilling K♥9♥ for a stone bluff.
