"A Down-Bet Huh?"
Nível 17
: 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Upeshka De Silva raised to 145,000 from under the gun, with 1,000 left behind. Alexandru Papazian was in the hijack and asked for a count before deciding to call.
The flop came 
and De Silva looked back at the tournament clock, showing 19 players, before deciding to check. Papazian bet 10,000 and De Silva said with a straight face, "a down-bet huh?" before tossing in his last chip in the middle to call.
De Silva: 
Papazian: 
De Silva admitted he was sweating the pay jump, but tabled a set of threes, looking good to double. Papazian had a gut-shot straight draw. The turn was the 
and the river was the 
to send the pot to De Silva.
