Varun Palackan bet 12,000 into a 24,000 chip pot heads up with Mark Roberts on a board, then tanked it out when Roberts jammed his last 55,000 all-in for close to a pot-sized bet.
"Show?" Palackan asked.
"I'll let you pick two," Roberts replied.
Palackan eventually folded showing two red aces and picking the and out of Roberts' hand.
"You picked the wrong two," Roberts said, flashing a three.

Down to 18 now they are redrawing for seats at the final two nine-handed tables.
Dave Piano has played his way into the lead and is closing in on 300,000 with 19 players left now.
After busting at least one player previously, his latest triumph came over Buck Ramsay in a hand that started with Piano's 4,500-chip button raise. Ramsay made it 15,500 from the small blind and after a fold in the big, Piano called.
It appeared Ramsay bet-called all-in on a flop for the rest of his 70,000-chip stack with the , and somehow Piano had a six.
Piano's held on a two-brick runout to crack Ramsay's aces, send him home early and allow Piano to ascend to the top of the counts.
