Event 4: Dentale Tanks, Calls

$500 +$60 No Limit Hold'em     

On the river with a board of 9 3 2 4 7 (back-door diamonds), seat one bet 30k (about half the pot).  Mike Dentale went into the tank.

Play is still hand-for-hand on the bubble and the hands were completed on all the other tables, so a crowd gathered around Mike's table to see what was going on. 

Mike eventually turned up his cards,  K 9 of hearts, for top pair.  If he called and lost, Mike would have between 50k and 60k left.

Mike eventually decided to call and his opponent mucked.  Mike collected the pot, chipping up to about 160k  He also collected a warning for exposing his hand with action pending.  A second infraction would result in a penalty.
