Joshua Tekesky opened the pot with a raise, and we joined the action as Rifat Palevic was three-betting to 9,100. A few seats over, Claire Renaut four-bet to 23,000, only to see Tekesky shove all in for 116,100 total.
Palevic would take several long minutes to think silently, and a couple of us bloggers watching the hand were speculating that he must have something like pocket queens. In any event, his two cards eventually and reluctantly went into the muck, and the action was back on Renaut.
"This is a nightmare," she said, as the television crew rolled tape. She continued to mumble for a few minutes, cutting out the calling chips to assess the potential damage to her stack. After another long while, she double-checked her cards and released them into the muck.
She claimed to have folded pocket queens herself, and Palevic lamented that he'd folded kings.
"You did not fold kings there!" McLean Karr said from the two seat. "That's not even a good bluff. Folded kings...."
Renaut seemed certain that Tekesky had ace-king, and she pried unsuccessfully for more information. It was a remarkable hand either way.
