Hughes' Pot-Sized Shove Gets Through
Level 16
: 3,000/6,000, 0 ante

hit the felt and Karakitukov bet 27,000 in position. Hughes raised to 65,000 and Liberta cold-called. Karakitukov figured out that it was the right time to wave the white flag and released his hand into the muck.

and Liberta checked. Hughes asked what the size of the pot was and the answer was 205,000. He potted and Liberta asked if Hughes even had that much. It was counted at 196,500 and Liberta let his hand go after 30 seconds or so.
