"If I fold, will you show?"
After returning from the break just short of being the chip leader, Thomas Mcmahon was caught in a hand with Man Wong.
Mcmahon was in middle position and heads up against Wong, who was in the hijack. Wong was just caught calling a pre-flop raise by Mcmahon to take the players to the flop, with a pot of around 20,000.
The pair saw a 3♠J♠4♠ flop. Mcmahon bet 6,000 and Wong quickly called.
A 9♣ was turned and Mcmahon continued for 17,000. Wong called and the A♦ completed the board.
Wong looked at Mcmahon for a reaction as the river fell. Mcmahon was giving nothing away and stared at the board after moving all in.
It took Wong around 3 minutes to make a decision. During the tank he took out his headphones to start probing Mcmahon questions. "If I fold, will you show?" he asked. Wong continued, "Do you have the nuts?...Hmmm...No answer".
Wong finally threw his cards into the muck and Mcmahon broke out of the statue to smile. The pair were continuing to discuss the hand during the next round of action, but neither player disclosed their cards.
Mcmahon left the hand as the chip leader, sitting on just over 230,000.
