Thomas Squeezes in Small Blind
A player in early position raised to 13,000, which prompted two players, including the button, behind to call.
With three players in the pot, Aaron Thomas appeared to have other ideas on how to proceed out of the small blind.
Thomas glanced to his right, where Poker Hall of Famer Erik Seidel sat in the big blind, and then around the table at his opponents.
After a few moments, Thomas three-bet to 76,000.
Seidel folded and was quickly followed by the original raiser and one of the two preflop callers. The player on the button, though, appeared to agonize over his decision. He went in the tank for almost a minute before folding.
The dealer pushed the pot to Thomas, who used the opportunity to flip over one of his cards, the 2?, before collecting the chips.
