We're not sure how the preflop action went down, but it resulted in Axat Tulsidas Mawji getting in for 87,000 against both Nacho Barbero and James Juvancic.
When the flop came down 
, Juvancic moved all in and Barbero, who had the shorter stack with 125,000 back, had to decide what to do. Eventually he folded the 
face up, and he quickly regretted it.
Juvancic: 
Mawji:
The turn and river have Mawji the triple, though he would have been eliminated had Barbero seen the hand through.
"Wow, I can't believe you just played that hand like that," chirped Barbero to Juvancic. "So bad."
"I know you have queens or jacks and are folding," Juvancic explained. "If he has ace-king I win a big pot."
The two bickered back and forth for awhile before Mawji looked Barbero dead in the eyes and said, "He outplayed you."
"Yeah, you're right," Barbero responded.
