On a flop, and with barely more than a min-raise and call in the pot, Georgios Tavoularis shoved for 98,000 from the small blind and the action was on Tarek Bouchama on the button.
Bouchama was deliberating. "I think you have ace nine," he said to Tavoularis. "If you have ace-nine you win."
"I win if you call, I win if you fold," replied Tavoularis to laughter around the table.
Bouchama eventually called with and was behind to the of his opponent.
The turn did bring four diamonds to the board, but the river secured Tavoularis his double.
