Sometimes, 30 Seconds Can Be Long
Niveau 13
: 1,500/3,000, 0 ante
We arrived when the action was on a flop of 
with Brandon Shack-Harris (big blind) involved in the hand against his left-hand opponent who had placed a bet of 12,000 in front of him. Shack-Harris check-raised to 50,000 and the other player spent a few minutes in the tank-mode.
He was shuffling with the calling chips but still couldn't make a decision. Then he turned to his left, saying, "Give me 30 seconds, guys, OK?" The table said they were fine with him taking time to figure out his plan.
But it took well over 30 seconds. Two minutes later, he ended up folding and Shack-Harris quietly stacked the chips from the pot.

flop.
Makarov checked the turn as well and Mizrachi fired 6,000. Makarov took about a minute and then tossed in calling chips.
