It was all-in pre-flop:
for Brolin

The Greek screamed for a Jack and was rewarded with a Jack high flop.

Markus Golser makes a standard raise to 24,000 pre-flop and Marc Karam calls from the big blind.
The flop is and Karam bets 30,000. Golser then moves in for 165,000 more.
Karam starts talking to himself. It seems he is sure that Golser has a flush draw or a bluff. He counts out the 165,000 and puts it to one side, stands up and spends another couple of minutes staring intently at the flop and Golser alternately. Eventually he announces "I call", swiftly followed by "Nice bet" when Golser shows his hand.
