Level 13
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

With around 75,000 chips already in the pot on a board of 7?6?J?9?6?, Mohamad El Rais had checked it over from the small blind and Diogo Coelho fired a pot-sized bet of 72,500 from the big blind. El Rais sat motionless for a while then turned his attention to Coelho and gazed for around a minute before he turned his head back to the board.
Around four minutes passed and El Rais still hadn't made a decision, so one of the players seated at the table called the clock. Before the floor even had a chance to start the countdown, El Rais had called.
Coelho sheepishly turned over 8?4? for a missed straight draw that he picked up on the turn, and El Rais' pair of nines with 10?9? was the winner.
