We got to the table with 2,800 already in the pot and a flop of {Q-Spades}{8-Clubs}{3-Hearts} in the middle of the table. Chris Bolek checked to his opponent who put out a bet of 1,100. Bolek check-raised to 3,000 and was called.

The turn was the {J-Hearts} and Bolek checked. His opponent threw out a single T5,000 chips and Bolek lifted his head to see how many chips his opponent had behind. After doing so, Bolek grabbed a stack of chips and put them into the middle, effectively setting his opponent all in.

"Did you hit the gutshot?" his opponent asked before announcing a call. Bolek had {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds} but had fallen behind on the flop as his opponent had flopped a set of eights with {8-Hearts}{8-Spades}. The river bricked out and Bolek had to send a total of 14,125 to his opponent leaving him with 28,000 behind.
