Dowdy's Shove Takes it Down
Level 27
: 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
David Dowdy opened from middle position to 100,000. Roongsak Griffeth, the cutoff, and Michael Simhai, the big blind, both made the call.
Griffeth fired for 200,000 on the 
flop. Simhai got out of the way, before Dowdy announced that he was all-in. Griffeth took a few moments, at one point asking if he was allowed to ask Dowdy to show his cards, before finally tossing his hand in the muck, giving the pot to Dowdy.
"I'll tell you if you tell me," Dowdy said, "You got a jack?"
"You'll tell me? King-jack" Griffeth responded.
"I had queens" Dowdy told him, although neither player showed any hole cards.
