Staring Contest
As Khoa Nguyen was eliminated on the other table, this hand was going down on the main feature table.
Matt Giannetti raised to 675,000 from the button after beginning the hand with 10.25 million in chips. Badih Bounahra reraised to 2.075 million from the small blind and then Giannetti began to tank. The two are seated right next to one another and began staring intently at each other for a solid minute or two without either flinching. Eventually, Giannetti folded and Bounahra won the pot.
