Whitt Makes "Professional Laydown"

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

After Brett Tannenbaum raised all-in with his short stack of about 250,000, Leo Whitt looked down to find {A-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}. For many players in this situation, this would be an automatic call, but Whitt evaluated his options and even got Tannenbaum talking by asking him "Will you show if I fold?"

Tannenbaum's relaxed answer gave Whitt all the tells he would need and he mucked his hand face up. Tannenbaum rewarded him by keeping his word and showing his hand: {Q-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}.

Whitt's fellow players whistled in approval, saying "That right there is a professional fold."
