Vassallo Tanks and Folds

Jonas Van Baelen raised to 75,000 from under the gun and was only called by Giuseppe Vassallo in the big blind.

The flop came T♣6♦Q♦, Vassallo check-called the 90,000 continuation-bet of Van Baelen.

The turn brought them the 2♥, Vassallo check-called again but now Van Baelen’s bet was 225,000.

The river completed the board with the 5♥, Vassallo checked for the last time and Van Baelen fired another 550,000 over the line. Vassallo tanked for about three minutes before Christophe De Meulder called the clock on him. The floor came over and the dealer explained the situation to him. The floor gave Vassallo 30 seconds to make a decision. After a while, Vassallo folded.
