Suvarna Survives a Staredown

Frank Visser

Level 5 : Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

Jonathan Pastore and Santhosh Survana had created a massive pot of 180,000 when they arrived on the river on 6?8?9?10?4?. Pastore then checked from the small blind before Suvarna fired 130,000 in the middle from the button.

Pastore took a good look at his opponent for several minutes, trying to get any information out of him in the meantime. Suvarna remained as stoic as ever, however, and Pastore eventually forfeited the pot by passing his cards to the dealer.

As this hand took place at the table where players show one card when they win, Suvarna showed the A? before play continued.
