Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Scotty Nguyen raised to 220K from early position and Jon Kalmar re-raised to 600K from the cutoff. And then, from the big blind, Farry moved all-in for his last 2.8 million. Nguyen folded, Kalmar folded, and Farry scooped up a big pile of chips.

"If I knew you'd fold, I was calling," Scotty said to Kalmar.

"If you called, I was calling," Kalmar answered. And that's when Scotty said he folded pocket Queens.
