We joined this three-handed pot just after the flop action on a board of {6-Hearts}

. We walked up just too late to see the betting action, but whatever it was, it put about 30,000 chips in the pot heading to the turn.

It came the {3-Clubs}

, and all three players checked. On the river, the {A-Hearts}

drew a shove from ElkY, first to act. He was all in for 19,600, and that sent Sorel Mizzi deep into the tank. Mizzi squeezed his {A-?}

out in plain sight so that everyone behind him could have a look at the decision he was facing. After two or three minutes, he decided a fold was in order. The third player in the hand quickly ducked out as well, and that sent the pot (and a near-double-up) over to ElkY. He's back up to his starting stack of 50,000 now.

While the pot was being pushed into his corner, ElkY let Mizzi flip over one of his cards, the {4-Hearts}
