Ari Engel Crippled

We came to the table as Ari Engel was in a three way pot with the big blind and the hijack. The flop read {5-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{7-Spades}, and the big blind checked to Engel, who bet an unknown amount. The hijack called, and the big blind raised it up to 1,550. Both players called, and the turn came the {9-Diamonds}. The big blind bet out 2,500, and Engel was the only caller. Just before the {4-Hearts} was dealt on the river, the big blind bet 10,000. Engel went into the tank, and while he was thinking, a masseuse came over and being chatting with the big blind, who appeared to be very laid back and happy, saying "You have perfect timing!" Engel made the call, and his opponent showed {a-Hearts}{a-Spades}. Engel mucked, dropping him all the way down to 4,000.
