Level 12
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
A pot of around 60,000 was already in the middle as Ali Abdulzahra and Alexander Crawford went to the river on a board of 2♦A♥Q♥K♦7♣.
Abdulzahra was in the cutoff and moved all in for 70,000 as Crawford went into the tank.
"I don't believe you. That's a big bet," Crawford said as he considered the decision for several minutes. He at one point picked up his cards and held them above the table as if he was about to muck, only to put them back down and begin shuffling his chips.
"Show the bluff? Sorry guys," Crawford said, apologizing to his tablemates. He eventually tossed in a chip to signify a call.
Abdulzahra then showed A♣Q♦ for two pair. "Nice hand," Crawford said with an air of resignation, mucking his cards as Abdulzahra raked in the massive pot.
