Huge River Bet, Huge River Folds
Four players still held hole cards on the turn, with the board reading J♥2♣K♦8♥ William Beer bet out for 10,000 into a pot of 15,000. Narongsak Dhanjaichon and Eric Ethans stuck in the call, but Jason Cross let go of his hand.
The river 6♥ slowed Beer down, as he checked his option. After some tank, Dhanjaichon fired out a near pot-sized bet of 37,500 into the middle. Ethans took a long time to come to a decision, and after around two minutes he decided to fold. "What did you have?" questioned Beer, who was also clearly in quite the spot. He took a similar amount of time before folding K♣J♣ face up.
"I had that beat," announced Ethans, who let his opponent know that he had folded pocket eights. The two debated about what Dhanjaichon could have had. He didn't let them know, and stayed silent, returning his cards face down.
