Raymer Persuades His Opponent to Fold

A player to Greg Raymer's immediate right made a raise to 1,200 preflop. Raymer then moved all in for his last 6,000 chips. Action folded back around to the original raiser and he tanked for a while before talking to Raymer. Raymer talked back and asked his opponent if it would be a big laydown. His opponent said yes and then asked if Raymer would show.

After a while of thought, Raymer's opponent made the fold, displaying {A-Spades} {J-Spades} to the table and saying, "This is a big laydown."

Raymer returned the favor and showed {Q-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds}. "In that case, I wanted a call because you only had one over. I thought I was getting you to fold ace king."
