Lijo Risks it All
Level 20
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Action started on the flop heads up between Lander Lijo and his opponent. The board showed 
.
In position, Lijo bet the flop and was check-raised to 215,000 by his opponent in the big blind. Lijo made the call.
On the 
turn, the big blind player bet 350,000. Again, Lijo made the call.
The river 
hit the board, completing the obvious flush draw. The check-raiser bet 300,000, just under half of what Lijo had behind. Lijo thought for about 30 seconds before moving all in for 675,000.
Lijo's opponent went deep into the tank for about five minutes. The clock was called.
"If you ever have one bluff, I'm supposed to call," said the player.
The countdown hit zero and the hand was declared dead.
"King-queen, I had king-queen," said Lijo's opponent.
