"You Can Still Fold"
Level 18
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Samy Salah opened 16,000 in early position and Antonio Crocetta pushed a stack of blues across the line for a raise of 85,000 on the button. Salah piled his chips and four-bet all in for his entire stack. Crocetta asked for a count and the dealer informed him it was 149,000. As Crocetta deliberated, Salah added, "You can still fold." Without responding, Crocetta made the call.
Samy Salah: Q♣Q♦ 
Antonio Crocetta: J♥J♣
Salah hit his set as the K♥Q♠9♣ flop hit the felt, but he hadn't received the checkmark quite yet as Crocetta flopped a gutshot straight draw. The 2♥ turn and the 6♥ river changed nothing, however, sending Salah the double nearing the bubble.
