Durnegger checked the river, and Guerrero moved all in immediately. Almost immediately Guerrero said, "I will show if you fold, it's a big pot."
"It doesn't make sense to me," Durnegger said about a minute later, "You could have fours, or fives?"
A few more minutes went by, and with 220,000 chips left Durnegger had a big decision to make.
"You're a nice guy, I'll show you," Guerrero then said, as Durnegger kept thinking.
"Clock," another player then said, and in the final seconds Durnegger called.
Guerrero showed for a flopped set, and Durnegger flashed for a pair of eights, and he was knocked out.
