The completed board shows K♥Q♠8♣6♦9♥ and Reza Doomun had checked. Table big stack Jonathan Bowers eyeballed his remaining stack and then pushed forward a stack of T-5,000 chips worth 100,000.
Doomun was covered by that and tank-folded, then murmured he should have gone with it on the flop.
"I had ace-jack-ten," Bowers said after raking in the pot without showdown.
