No Bluffing for Monster-Stacked Takeuchi
Level 34
: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Kazuto Takeuchi in the small blind and Glenn Thompson in cutoff had already built a massive pot of 10,000,000 beside a flop of Q♠4♥2♦.
When the 10♠ turn dropped, Takeuchi fattened the pot further with 4,000,000. Thompson called to see the last card.
The river fell the 8♥ and Takeuchi shoved all-in for 24,000,000, sending Thompson to the tank. With only 9,800,000 behind, Thompson seriously considered his next move.
He decided to concede both his hand and the pot to Takeuchi. As the Japanese player scooped the pot, he went, "No bluff! No bluff!" One of the players went, "No bluff? Then show!"
He placed the cards down and asked them to choose one. After the choice was made, he turned over A♣, then repeated, "No bluff!"
