Mintz Can't Look

We didn't see how the money got in, but we could see that Jamil Wakil was the preflop shover after several raises, and Ben Mintz quickly called off his last ~800,000 to put himself at risk.
Showdown
Mintz: 
Wakil: 
Mintz turned his head away from the table, deciding to listen to the board cards rather than watch them. The 
flop was as safe as it gets, and the turn 
was a blank as well. Mintz was still looking down at the floor as the river card hit like a clap of thunder. It was the 
, the ugliest card in the deck for Mintz.
Wakil apologized for that river beat, but Mintz wouldn't let him. "Naw, man," he said kindly. "Don't apologize. I woulda gone with ace-queen against me too. You've been playing with me all day. Don't apologize." With that, he wished his table luck and stepped away toward the payout desk, where he let his emotions loosen up a bit. Mintz was visibly frustrated as he let out a few deep breaths and a few choice words about what had just happened.
His day is done in unfortunate fashion, and Wakil has vaulted all the way up to the 2 million mark with that knockout.
