: 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Didier Mazairac has lost a pretty hefty pot, but at least his fold was vindicated.
The board read 
when we arrived and the pot already comprised around 600,000 chips. William Johnson had bet 200,000 leaving Mazairac with a torturous decision. He tanked up for a long, long time before asking, "If I fold, you show?" - that classic sign of an impending fold. Sure enough, he passed, showing his opponent 
for top pair. Johnson showed him pocket fours for a set, and though Mazairac's stack has been almost bisected he'll be able to sleep easy tonight.
