A Slow Call with Top Set
During our latest lap around the room, a player stopped us and said we should ask the next table over about a recent hand. The young man seemed so amused by what he had just witnessed that we had to hear it for ourselves.
According to the dealer and the player who won the pot, Nick Zohrabi, this is how it went down. Zohrabi held 
and the flop fell 
, giving him the nuts at that point with his top set. After a bet and a raise, Zohrabi's lone opponent in the hand pushed all-in.
Zohrabi needed some time to think things through. With no other opponents in the hand and the action on him, Zohrabi went deep into the tank with his top set, deliberating for what the dealer said was "at least ninety seconds."
After coming to his decision, Zohrabi finally made the call and his opponent revealed 
for two-pair. The board bricked out and Zohrabi claimed every one of his furious opponent's chips. While the slowrolled player is "probably in Reno by now after that one," according to a player at the table, Zohrabi contentedly counted his newly earned chips.
When asked why he decided to wait so long before calling with the nuts, Zohrabi looked up and said simply "It's a World Series of Poker tournament and it's serious stuff. I gotta put him on the straight there." He concluded by adding cryptically, "I gotta put him on somethin' there...I could've been beat."
