"That's The Best Fold I've Ever Seen!"
There was already over 150,000 in the middle and a completed 
board out. Jochum Weenink recapped the earlier action: he had raised to 6,000, Watson had three-bet to 15,000, Nick Maimone had called and Weenink had folded preflop. On the flop, Watson bet, Maimone called, then Watson had check-raised the turn.
On the river, Watson bet 50,000 and Maimone shoved all in, putting Watson to the test for his remaining stack of 115,000. Watson went deep in the tank and minutes passed by as he tried to figure out the situation.
Eventually, he settled on a fold and flung 
— nines full — open in the muck. Instantly, Maimone jumped back as soon as he saw the big hand that just got laid down.
"No way!" he yelled. "That's the best fold I've ever seen!". Maimone then showed 
for the rivered quads and shook Watson's hand in respect.
"That's incredible. In my whole life, that's the best fold I've ever seen," Maimone said in awe.
