Poker is often described as a game of skill, psychology, and patience. Yet for many players, the toughest opponent they face is not the player across the table, but their own emotional state. Few concepts illustrate this better than tilt.
Tilt is responsible for countless blown sessions, early tournament exits, unnecessary bankroll damage, and talented players quitting the game altogether. Understanding what tilt is, why it happens, and how to control it is one of the most important steps a poker player can take toward long-term improvement.
The final 7 are headed to a first 15-minute break of the day. Play resumes at 1:20 p.m. local time.

Hull checked it over to Oshana, and he opted for a bet of 10,000,000. Hull took some time before sticking in a call.

Action quickly went check, check, and Hull showed K♥Q♠. Oshana had an inferior queen, but had gotten there on the turn with Q♥J♥ for top two.
