Daniel Runs Into Peterson's Set

We happened upon the table with about 400,000 in the pot and a board reading {4-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}. It appeared Ryan Daniel had checked, and Wayne Peterson had moved all in for 323,000.

Daniel was contemplating the call, asking his opponent a lot of questions like, "Do you have ace-queen?" and "A set?" Peterson, who was getting a massage, buried his head in his massage pad and refused to answer.

Daniel thought for a long time, counting out chips and asking for an exact count, and then said, "I call." Peterson then looked up, rolled over {Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs}, and doubled on the hand.

Daniel was clearly disappointed as he was left with just 12,000, all of which disappeared in the very next hand.
