As Level 4 wound down, a big hand took place between online star Christoph "Tight-Man1" Vogelsang and GPI Player of the Year Byron Kaverman, one that lasted an awful long time.
It began when Vogelsang raised to 5,200 from the hijack and Kaverman took his time before three-betting to 13,500 from the cutoff. The button and both blinds all folded, Vogelsang thought for nearly two minutes before four-betting to 38,500, and Kaverman thought for an equal amount of time before making the call.
The 
flop saw Vogelsang think for awhile before betting 28,000, and Kaverman tank-called. The time taken for each decision would continue to increase on subsequent streets. For instance, both players checked the 
turn, but not before taking 90 seconds to do so.
When the 
completed the board on the river, Vogelsang waited nearly two minutes before checking, and Kaverman waited the same before betting 107,000. Vogelsang then paused for a minute or two before stacking all but one of his chips — a single T100 chip capping his cards — and slid them in for an all-in check-raise to 130,400.
The dealer then instructed him to put in the remaining 100, which brought the total up to 130,500. Kaverman thought for a minute before making the call, and Vogelsang tabled the 
. Kaverman shook his head and showed the 
before watching the pot pushed to his opponent.
