There were about 66,000 chips already in the middle and the board read 
when we got to the table. Five players were in the hand and action checked around to Pavel Plesuv who bet 20,000 from the button. The small blind check-raised to 65,000, Jonathan Little folded from the big blind, the hijack folded, and Barny Boatman folded from the cutoff. Plesuv called.
The turn brought the 
and the small blind bet 106,000. Plesuv called.
The 
fell on the river and the small blind bet again, 132,000 this time. Plesuv shoved for what looked like about 1,000,000, putting his opponent to a decision for the remainder of his stack.
"What are you trying to sell me here? On what?" asked the small blind. "You don't look comfortable. You've got that nervous cough, too."
After some additional banter and over two minutes in the tank, the small blind ultimately folded, and the dealer pushed the pot to Plesuv.
