We found Michael Osborne and John Richards battling on a flop of 8d 6d 6s. Osborne bet 5,000 from the big blind and Richards called. The turn came 4d, Osborne bet 13,000 and Richards took his time to call.

The river came Qd, Osborne quickly 45,000 and Richards made a few puzzled expressions as he mulled over his decision. He took some time, but not an excessive amount, to call holding Ad Kc for an ace-high flush. Osborned tabled 5s 3h and was miffed at the amount of time Richards took to call.

"There's five minutes of my life I'll never get back," he said.

"Sorry dude," Richards replied. "I didn't put you on five three off."

John Richards - 250,000
Michael Osborne - 20,000
