Barnard Wins the Pot Without Revealing His Cards
Level 18
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
The pot stood at around 150,000, and the board showed 6♦4♠A♠Q♦. Joseph Barnard, in middle position, checked to Ivan Poroliev, who bet 80,000, which Barnard called.
On the 4♣ river, Barnard took the lead with a bet of 70,000. Poroliev took his time before raising to 280,000, prompting a snap-call from Barnard. Poroliev's cards quickly found the muck, and Barnard took down the pot without showing one card of his own.
