, and there was around 45,000 in the pot. Dietrich Fast was in the big blind and bet 48,000. Cary Katz was his opponent and decided to move all in for around 135,000 from early position.
"How much?" asked Fast, before the dealer confirmed Katz's stack amount.
"That's a good question," said Katz, "You didn't snap-call" he added.
Fast thought for a minute using a time bank card before he asked if Katz would show his hand if he folded. Katz didn't replay at first.
"Maybe one card" Katz then responded.
Ultimately Fast opted to fold and declared he held two pair, but Katz mucked his hand without showing before he picked up the pot.
