That's Entertainment

Alex Kravchenko and Roland de Wolfe were both down to their last 475 exactly before the following hand took place.

Kravchenko, de Wolfe, and a third player each put two bets (i.e., 300) in before the first draw. All drew two cards. Kravchenko and de Wolfe ended up each putting his last 175 in the middle on this round of betting, along with the third player.

At this point, de Wolfe decided to show his hand, 8-6-5-4-3, announcing he was staying pat from here on out. Both Kravchenko and the other player drew one on the second round, and Kravchenko drew one and the other two on the third round.

Neither managed to catch up to de Wolfe's 8-6, and Kravchenko was eliminated.

"That's why I'm the most entertaining player in the world," said de Wolfe afterwards, alluding to his unorthodox decision to show his hand after the first draw.
