Level 6 : 300/600, 100 ante

With around 9,000 in the middle and the board showing {Q-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}, Adolfo Vaeza checked out of the small blind and Byron Kaverman bet 5,100. Vaeza then check-raised all in and Kaverman asked for a count. The shove was for 44,850 and Kaverman used one time bank to then fold with one second left. During that time, some table chat emerged.

"Will you shoe me if I fold?" Kaverman asked and Vaeza replied "If you call me, I have to show."

Back to Kaverman, who added "That is true. Well, you can throw them into the muck also."

Kaverman flashed the {Q-Hearts} and Vaeza simply raked in the pot with a smile on the face.

Right after in the next hand, short-stack Jan-Eric Schwippert jammed out of the small blind with {K-Spades}{K-Diamonds}. Kaverman called and tabled {K-Hearts}{2-Hearts}, which prompted Schwippert to joke "nice call." Kaverman would have the last laugh on this one, as the board came {8-Spades}{8-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{6-Hearts} to give the American a flush.
