James Hawkins and Roman Veretsun were heads-up on a board of Q♣9♥Q♠6♥ when Hawkins bet 12,000 from the cutoff. Veretsun then moved all in for around 30,000.
"So sick. I've got pocket aces. He's got a queen," Hawkins said as he tanked for several minutes. He eventually flung his cards across the table in frustration.
"You bet too much. You bet six, I just call," Veretsun told him.
"Show the bluff," Hawkins asked.
"I don't bluff," Veretsun replied.
