Big O
Ariel Mantel from the big blind and Marco Johnson from the cutoff were tangled in a big pot with 15,200 in the middle and 10,800 in front of each player from previous betting streets.
With the board reading 9♠6♦2♦K♦Q♣, Mantel checked to Johnson who fired for 23,000. After some deliberation, Mantel decided to stick in the call.
Marco Johnson: A♦Q♠10♥3♣2♣
Ariel Mantel: A♣10♣8♦5♦4♦
Johnson was bluffing with the naked ace of diamonds and Mantel made the right call with his small flush to drag a huge one of over 160 big blinds.
