Field Getting Bigger, and a Big Fold

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

Still getting to know players in today's field, which now has ballooned to more than 400 during late registration. Just happened on a hand between a couple we don't yet know that was interesting enough to share nonetheless.

Four had gone to the flop, and just two remained by the river at which point the board showed a tantalizing {J-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{A-Hearts}{J-Clubs}. The player in early position rapidly fired a confident-looking bet of more than half the pot, and his opponent considered for a few moments before folding his hand face up -- {a-}{J-}. The winner showed one of his cards while scooping the chips, the {K-Spades}.

"Sick hand, dude," was the main comment. "I think he had it," said the river-folder, perhaps more to himself than to anyone else.
