Heads-up on a flop of J♥6♠K♠, Marc Pronilow bet 5,000 from the cutoff before Ilya Smolko moved all in from the small blind.
"I'm 95 percent calling. I just can't believe I'm going to be all in," Pronilow said as he tanked for around 30 seconds before calling.
Marc Pronilow: Q♠10♠
Ilya Smolko: A♦K♣
"Let's go," Smolko said as he stood up from his seat. He was ahead with top pair, while Pronilow had straight and flush draws.
"This is a big one," tablemate Miguel Capriles added. The turn was the 5♠ and Pronilow completed his flush to leave Smolko drawing dead.
"That's a bad one," Smolko said as the 10♦ completed the board.
"Slowroll," Capriles joked with Pronilow.
"I thought he was better. I didn't think he would do that with one pair," Pronilow replied.
"You've never seen a maniac at the table before?" Capriles asked him.
"I've seen many. I didn't think he was one of them," Pronilow said.
