Li Bets Big, Shows Payne the Bluff
Level 25
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Joshua Payne and Pei Li built a pot of nearly 2,000,000 heading to the river on a completed board of 2♥3♦Q♠7♦6♣. Payne, in middle position, checked over to Li who fired out 1,100,000.
"Golly," Payne said as he began tanking. He eventually grabbed the chips to call and held them in his fist as the clock continued to tick away. He then asked tablemate Matthias Auer to put a timer on him.
Payne ended up folding what he claimed was queen-ten and Li showed him A♣K♣ for just ace-high.
