Black Denies Request To Show
Taylor Black raised to 125,000 at the cutoff, and action folded to Eddie Ochana in the big blind.
As has been the case of most of Day 3, Ochana elected to defend against Black.
The flop came 7?8?K?, which drew a check from Ochana. Black continued with a 150,000 bet, which drew a call. The turn saw J? on the board, and Ochana once again checked. Black proceeded to bet 450,000 and Ochana continued with a check-call approach when he put out the chips.
The dealer then placed 3? on the river, which Ochana checked. Black reached into his stack and sized up a 1,200,000 bet.
Ochana appeared uncomfortable at the sizing and went into the tank, apologizing to his tablemates on the time.
“I have a big hand,” Ochana said. “Can I show my hand?”
The dealer informed Ochana that he couldn’t and doing so would incur a penalty.
Ochana then went back in the tank for a few more seconds before folding 8?7? face up, showing he flopped two pair.
“Show one time,” Ochana said to Black. “Show the bluff.”
Ochana’s request fell on deaf ears, though, as Black pulled in the more than 1,000,000 pot.
