AP Louis Garza

AP Louis Garza raised UTG+1 to 225,000, Harrison Brown reraised from middle position to 525,000, and Garza asked Brown how much he had behind. Brown counted out his chips and accurately said, “About three-point-six” (3.6 million).

Garza tanked for a long time before he four-bet it to 1,150,000, and Brown went into the tank himself for a while before he called.

The flop came 10h9d7s, Garza thought for a while before he checked, and then Brown tanked for a long time before he bet 825,000.

Garza tanked for a long time himself before he check-raised all in, covering Brown’s stack.

Brown smiled and took a drink from his bottle of water, and then his face turned serious as he studied the board. After thinking for a while, Brown folded, and Garza took the pot worth 4.2 million.

This hand had to be the longest hand of the tournament that never even reached the turn.
