Blind on Blind Action

It folded around to Jan Skampa in the small blind, who raised to 90,000. Jeff Sarwer in the big blind promptly made it 220,000. But everyone was very surprised when Skampa, action back on him, announced all in.

Sarwer took it seriously enough to ask for a count (1,183,000 total) and tanked up for a long time, experimenting with inching his stack towards the line while studying Skampa's face for a reaction. Eventually he passed, announcing, "Nice hand."
