That's What You Call a Poker Decision

Three players saw a {4-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} flop, Rifat Palevic bet 175,000, and only Tian Shou called. The turn was the {8-Spades}, and Palevic promptly shoved all in for about 800,000, sending Shou into the tank.

"I need Poker Stove," exhaled Shou wearily. "I have a massive, massive hand, but I fold."

Shou showed the {9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} he was folding -- eights and a diamond draw. Then Palevic turned over his cards somewhat emphatically -- {6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}!

Palevic is up to 2.35 million, while Shou slips to 2.47 million.
