"You Don't Have to Bet"
With about 5,000 in the pot and a board reading 
, Victoria Coren bet 2,700 and was called by her opponent on the button. When the 
appeared on the river, Coren thought for a few moments before checking as she said, "Alright, you can have it. You seem like a really nice person."
The button did not immediately check behind, instead opting to consider his options. "You don't have to bet," Coren insisted. After a few more moments, Coren shot up in her chair as if she had just experienced and epiphany. "Oh my god, maybe you don't have anything. If you have a really bad flush draw, you have to bet," she concluded.
The button remained silent before putting out a bet of 5,300. Coren seemed as if she wanted to make the call, but instead pushed her cards to the dealer. "If I had a queen high, I might have called," she confessed. The button did not show his cards.
