Start-of-day chip-leader Colin Wu raised to 7k in middle position and Robin Yiltalo re-raised to 19k in the small blind. Wu re-raised to 40k, which put Yiltalo to a decision for most if not all of his chips. He thought for so long that the clock was called. He finally folded and Wu scooped a big pot risk-free.

Tricky Dicky

Sun, Mar 2nd 2008, 16:40 by Reporter

P. Scott raised to 7k from the small blind and John Dick wasted little time re-raising another 18k from the big blind. Scott thought for a long time, telling Dick it was the first big hand he’d seen in a while. Dick told him to push his chips in if that was the case, but he eventually folded. Dick invited Scott to turn over one of his cards: 7. He then invited him to turn over the other: 3. Scott’s head sunk.
