After a big raise preflop, Tahir Ahmed and Michael Bahls went to a flop of 4♣7♦3♦ and Bahls moved in for his last 22,500.
"You got aces?" Ahmed asked as he made the call.
"Oh, no, definitely not," Bahls responded as he flipped over K♠Q♠.
"Oh, I thought you had it," Ahmed replied as he flipped over K♦K♥ to leave Bahls drawing only to running queens.
"That's ok, I was ready to rebuy anyway," Bahls said as the the runout of 6♣6♠ sent him to the registration desk for another go.

The players in the Mian Event are now on their first 15-minute break of the day and will return to action shortly.
Andrew Moreno opened to 1,000 preflop and was three-bet by Aaron McEvoy to 2,700, which Moreno called.
On the flop of 9♣9♠3♣, Moreno checked to McEvoy who bet 1,600, but then Moreno check-raised him to 5,300, which called.
The turn came the 5♠ and Moreno led for 8,300, but then it was McEvoy's turn to raise again as he moved all in to cover.
Moreno thought about it for a few moments but ultimately made the call, putting himself at risk.
Andrew Moreno: 10♠10♥
Aaron McEvoy: Q♣J♣
Moreno made the right call as he was ahead with his pocket tens, but the river 5♣ was brutal as it gave McEvoy the flush to take down the substantial pot, eliminating Moreno.
Not to be deterred, Moreno headed straight to the registration desk and is back in the mix with a fresh stack.
