Folding A Big Pair
A big pot just went down over on Table 1, where one player admitted to folding what he described as a "big pair" on a low, paired board.
Two players had already limped into the pot before Spaniard Leo Margets raised to 700. The player in the hijack three-bet to 2,100 before the cutoff checked his hole cards before announcing raise and placing 6,000 worth of chips over the line.
This bet was enough to fold everyone out, except the hijack, who pondered his options for few moments before emaking the call.
Flop: 
The hijack tapped the table and within seconds his opponent had fired out a continuation bet of 7,000, leaving himself around 9,000 chips behind. Thirty seconds passed and the hijack sat riffling two piles of green chips. They were not enough to call with. Another 90 seconds passed and he swtiched to riffling the black 100 denomination chips, whilst his opponent sat motionless listening to his ipod through his large silver headphones.
Another twenty or so seconds later and the hijack mucked his hand, though he looked pained to do so. As his opponent raked in the substantial pot, he announced "I fold big pair," which judging by the shade of scarlet his opponent's face turned to, was the best hand on this occassion.
