Cada's River Shove Takes Down Monster Pot
Level 27
: 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Shawn Daniels opened from the button for 170,000. Joe Cada raised to 655,000. Daniels. called.
On the 
flop, Cada continued for 550,000. Daniels again called.
The turn elicited a barrel of 945,000 from Cada, who again received a call from Daniels.
On the 
river, Cada moved all in. Daniels took his time with his decision. Muttering mostly to himself, he at one point received a suggestion from Cada.
"You could fold."
"Not very likely but I could I guess," responded Daniels indifferently.
A few moments later, "This is a really stupid spot. I shouldn't even be in it," pondered Daniels, "Should've folded this hand."
After some time and clearly some regret, Daniels made the laydown.
