Nanos Ticking Away the Moments

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Action was picked up on the river, with a board that read 79K104. Tuan Nguyen had shoved his remaining 39,400 into a pot that consisted of 51,200. Dimitrios Nanos, the only other player with cards, was put deep into the tank.

Nguyen remained unmoving. His eyes, hidden by sunglasses, focused on the board and nothing else, as Nanos looked him up and down, removed then replaced his hood, and put his head in his hands. He repeated this process for an entire seven minutes (the length of the aptly named Time by Pink Floyd, for reference) before Orez Mokedi waved to the dealer, and signalled to his wrist. The dealer brought over the floor, and he let each passing second tick by, folding with just one left.

Some players at the table were visibly disappointed with the outcome.
