Patrick Mahoney was forced all in for his last 4,000 in the big blind, and John Racener limped in from early position. Andjelko Andrejevic called the 8,000 from the small blind, and the two remaining players checked the flop and the turn. On the river, Andrejevic bet 15,000, and Racener folded.
"Are you bluffing?" Mahoney asked.
Andrejevic said, "I can't say," as other tables were still in action.
"Shit," Mahoney replied. Another player from a table nearby asked him, and Mahoney turned around and said, "I am drawing thin. I haven't even looked at my cards yet."
Once all other tables were finished, Andrejevic rolled over for a queen-high flush. Mahoney's were exposed, and he exited the tournament area as last player without anything to show for his work.
