Justin Pechie Vs. Vasile Buboi

[user22113]

Justin Pechie raised to 11,000, Vasile Buboi reraised to 25,000, and Pechie called. The flop came {J-Hearts}

, and both players quickly checked. The turn card was the {9-Spades}

, and they checked just as quickly. The river card was the {4-Hearts}

, Pechie said, "I check," and Buboi quietly said, "I'm all in." Pechie did a double take, because the hand moved so fast, but Buboi was all in for 76,000.

Pechie thought about the situation for several minutes, asking Buboi if he flopped quads or some other monster. Buboi said nothing. Pechie was agonizing his decision, but looking at his own chips and the board more than Buboi.

Eventually, Pechie folded, and Buboi mucked his cards. There weren't a lot of chips changing hands, but it was a dramatic situation.
