Sultanbek Wins at Showdown Without Showing Cards
Level 4
: Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
There were already 10,000 chips in the pot on a flop of 2♦2♣7♣ when Vadim Kazykhanov bet 4,500. Two players folded before Kaisar Sultanbek called
Both checked the 4♣ turn to the 10♠ river. Sultanbek checked, and Kazykhanov bet 6,500. Sultanbek needed only a few seconds to think before he decided to call.
A traditional showdown involves at least one player showing their cards, but on this occasions nobody did as Kazykhanov tossed his cards back to the dealer face down, which meant Sultanbek was awarded the pot without the need to show his cards.
