There was about 7,000 in on the 
river when Romain Lotti bet 5,000.
His opponent in the cutoff took some time before raising to 11,000 and Lotti tanked.
After about a minute, Lotti seemed to begrudgingly toss in a call, as if to say, "If you got it, you got it."
The cutoff showed 
queen-high and Lotti turned over 
for jacks and tens, and the winner.
Lotti qualified for this tournament through Club GG. Learn more about ClubGG here
