With 19,000 in the pot, Alex Rocha made a 30,000 bet on the river with a board of {Q-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{Q-Spades}{5-Hearts}. That would be enough to felt his opponent who had 18,500 left behind.

"Really?" he said, looking over at Rocha. "You raise with 9's bro?"

Rocha sat there for a moment and then responded "I need pocket 9's to win?"

His opponent flicked his hand in their, and peeked back at his cards. Rocha sat across the table from him, his head resting lightly on his fists.

"You said you would show me once," he said to Rocha.

"Really?"

"Yeah, right when we sat down."

"I don't remember that," said Rocha.

A few more moments of contemplation. "Aaaaaaaaahhhhh, alright I fold," he said, turning over {K-Spades}{Q-Diamonds} for trip Queens.

"You want me to show?" asked Rocha.

"Yes."

"Alright, but only because I supposedly said I would," Rocha grinned, turning over the bluff... {K-Hearts}{J-Clubs}.

"Wow, sick bet. Well played sir," said Rocha's opponent, shaking his head.
