Zhang Has a Laugh
Level 4
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
With roughly 40,000 in the pot and a 3♥J♠Q♠ flop on the felt, Chuan Hao Zhang checked from the hijack. Matthew Costanzo and Nino Pansier checked behind from the cutoff and button.
The action checked through once again on the 4♥ turn, and the 6♥ river completed the board.
Zhang checked for a third time, and Costanzo bet 20,000. Pansier quickly folded, but Zhang flipped over the 5♥ in his hand, and then looked like he was considering aggressive action with the straight flush blocker.
Another player questioned if he was allowed to show a card, but Zhang quickly mucked his cards while in fits of laughter, as he was only messing around, seeing if he would get a reaction from someone.
