Show and (No) Tell

With the board showing {J-Hearts} {Q-Hearts} {5-Spades} {k-Diamonds}, Sangni Zhao checked, "Amarillo Slim" Preston bet 3,500, and Zhao called. The river brought the {2-Hearts}. Zhao checked again, Preston bet 4,000, then Zhao pushed all in for 26,000.

Preston thought a moment, then folded, showing the {4-Spades} as he did. Zhao decided to turn over one of his cards as well as he dragged the pot, also (presumably) choosing the most ambiguous one to show -- the {8-Clubs}.

"I'd bet anything he had the best hand," said the long-time gambler. Preston now has about 39,000 as we near the end of play on Day 1a.
