Romero Wins at Showdown Without Revealing Cards
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
With around 14,000 chips in the pot on a board of 8♠4♦10♣K♦, both James Bott and Alex Romero checked to see a 10♥ pair the board on the river. Bott reached for chips and fired 6,500, and after some deliberation, Romero called.
Bott nodded his head to his opponent as if to say 'you got it', then mucked. Romero didn't need to show and collected the pot without revealing his cards.
