Van Loo Shows After Massive River Shove
Level 24
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
An enormous pile of chips amounting to more than 2,000,000 was already in the middle as Tim Van Loo and Alexander Villa went to the river on a board of 7♣A♠10♣K♥3♥.
Van Loo, in the small blind, shoved all in for around 2,200,000 as Villa began tanking. "Show if I fold? We're going on break in 40 seconds anyway," Villa asked Van Loo, who remained silent.
Several minutes went by until Villa tapped the felt and slid his cards into the muck. "Show the bluff," a few tablemates said to Van Loo, who slowly took in the massive pot, then turned over 7♦6♦ to a collective gasp from around the table.
