Jason Brown then spoiled the calling party by moving all in from the big blind. Sijia and Watt both got out of the way and action was on Guitteau.
"Are you squeezing again?" asked Guitteau. Brown didn't respond.
"You have six-seven again?" asked Guitteau referring to an earlier hand they played.
This time Brown felt like chatting. "That's exactly what I have," he said.
Guitteau eventually laid his hand down and Brown then said "I actually had seven-eight," as he pitched his cards into the muck.

Sijia thought for a moment and then folded his - a big fold in a four-handed game. Brown then let his opponent pick one of his cards and the was flashed.
