Dhouimer Puts Zabrodotskyi in Blender

Around 35,000 was in the middle on a completed board of 6♦Q♥10♣8♠J♥, in a hand between Mehdi Dhouimer in early position and Yurii Zabrodotskyi in the big blind.

Zabrodotskyi led out with a bet of 21,000, only to be faced with a jam from Dhouimer for 64,000, sending the Ukrainian deep into thought.

Zabrodotskyi peered at the board, counted his chips, and glanced at his opponent repeatedly. After a while, he said to Dhouimer, "I have the nine", which would mean he had the queen-high straight, albeit not the nuts.

Eventually another player called the clock, and Zabrodotskyi let it get down to five seconds before announcing he was folding, flashing the 9♠ as he sent his cards to the muck.

Dhouimer raked in the pot and didn't give his opponent any indication as to whether his fold was a good one.
