Jesse Lonis bet 43,000 from under the gun on a flop of 7K8 and Uri Reichenstein called in the cutoff, while Jason Daly folded in the big blind.

The turn was the J and Lonis bet another 125,000. Reichenstein again called and the K fell on the river. Lonis then slid forward 290,000, sending Reichenstein deep into the tank.

Reichenstein considered the decision for several minutes. "Show if I fold?" he asked Lonis, who remained silent throughout the hand. Reichenstein eventually folded and Lonis took the pot without showing.

"Very weird hand," Reichenstein said.

"Guerrilla warfare," tablemate Paul Snead added.
