"I Only Looked at One"

Noah Schwartz raised to 32,000 from middle position and Tony G three-bet to 80,000 from the cutoff. Schwartz called and they saw a flop of {9-Diamonds} {8-Spades} {8-Hearts}. Schwartz checked and Tony G immediately made a massive all-in overbet for more than 500,000.

"I only looked at one card" said Tony G. "I'll show you the hand."

"I might see it anyway!" replied Schwartz as he contemplated a call.

"Either way, you'll see it then," Tony G retorted.

Schwartz folded and Tony G told him he could pick one of his hole cards and he'd turn it over. Schwartz pointed at Tony's right hand and he revealed the {J-Hearts}.

"The other one was black," he laughed as he raked in the pot. Tony G is now up to 655,000.
