We came to the action on Eddy Sabat's table with a board showing 
and one opponent checking the play to Sabat, who fired out a small bet.
A call from Sabat's opponent would see the hit the turn and Sabat's opponent would again check. This time Sabat bet 2,000 and again his opponent made the call.
The on the river would prompt another check and Sabat would think for a few moments before again betting, this time 4,600. After a few moments Sabat's opponent moved all in for around 9,000. Sabat looked pained as he began to talk to his opponent while contemplating the call.
"I made a mistake here, i should have checked behind," said Sabat as he continued to contemplate the call.
"You're not bluffing right?", asked Sabat, "If i show you my hand, will you show me yours?"
"Ah, this is sick, i'm pretty much folding the nuts," said Sabat as he quickly flashed a and sent his cards into the muck.
