Yury Kerzhapkin opened the pot to 1,800 and found two callers including Souhail Nassar.

The flop fell down {3-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} and Kerzhapkin fired 3,000 at the pot. One opponent opted to fold while Nassar made the call.

Both players checked the {6-Hearts} on the turn and when the river landed the {7-Diamonds} Kerzhapkin fired 5,000 at the pot.

"I see your cards? . . . I want to see your cards" stated Nassar.

Kerzhapkin say there emotionless for a while before nodding left to right indicating an answer of no.

"I will fold if I can see your hand" continued Nassar.

More banter continued before Kerzhapkin eventually gave in to Nassar's wishes as Nasser mucked a {3-Clubs} face up.

To the surprise of the table, Kerzhapkin showed his {A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} to be behind Nassar; but the winner of the pot as he moved back to 44,000 and change.
