There were about 17,000 chips in the pot and the board read when we got to the table. Leo Margets was in the big blind and had committed 11,400 on the river. The player in the small blind was contemplating his decision, but after some time in the tank, he ultimately folded.

As Margets took the pot, another player who had briefly stepped away returned to the table and asked the small blind if he'd called. When he shook his head, the third player commented, "I was going to call with ace high."
