"If I Knew How to Pick, I'd Play the Lottery"

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

We found Kirron Chan all in for 45,675 against an opponent who was tanking on a board of {a-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}. The pot was about 25,000, and Chan had called a raise out of the big blind and then check-raised the flop, he said.

"You'll show me if I fold?" his opponent asked.

"I'll let you pick one," Chan said, borrowing his neighbor's sunglasses to perhaps cut a more intimidating figure.

"If I knew how to pick, I'd play the lottery," Chan's opponent responded. After another minute or so, he called.

Chan: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}
Opponent: {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}

Chad needed only to dodge a queen, and the river was a {5-Spades}.
