"Recently, I was playing in a 5-handed No Limit cash game that was winding down. On the hand in question, I was out of position and heads up with a good but not excellent player. I led pre-flop for 4 bets and was called in three places. I check-called an additional 4 bets on the flop when it became clear the hand would be heads-up. After the turn, there were 24 bets in the pot.

Board: 2d 3d 5c T(10)h.

I held Ah T(10)s.

My opponent had made a very small bet on the flop, so I was not certain where I stood. I was pretty sure my pair of Tens was good, but I was also confident I would learn more from my opponent's turn bet. Confident he would at least make a small stab at the pot; my fear of a free card was negligible. I checked the turn. To my surprise, my opponent went all-in for 120 bets, a massive over-bet. Could he have a set, straight, or over-pair?" (Taken from 'The Big All-In', by Jason Pohl)
