Shchitnikov Hits a Milly

There were already around 125,000 chips in the pot on a flop of J♥A♠A♥ when Pavel Shchitnikov and Shahin Norouzian checked it over to Andreas Christoforou, who bet 40,000. Shchitnikov called, then Norouzian made it 160,000. Christoforou made the fold, and Shchitnikov called.

A 2♣ dropped on the turn and Shchitnikov immediately moved all-in, which put Norouzian to the test for his remaining stack of around 215,000. After thinking for around two minutes, he decided to fold.

After the hand, the two were discussing the pot.

"Did you fold an ace?" asked Shchitnikov. "If you tell me what you had, I will tell you my second card," he added as he exposed the A♣.

Norouzian didn't say what he had but mentioned "If you shove the flop I would call," before his cards went into the muck.
