AP Phahurat (Event 11)
AP Phahurat (Event 11)

AP Phahurat and an opponent were heads up on a board of {k-Hearts}{9-Spades}{10-Diamonds}. Phahurat's opponent checked, and Phahurat asked for a count. The player gave a rough estimate, then Phahurat checked behind.

The turn was the {7-Spades}, both players checked again, and the {7-Clubs} completed the board. The player checked a third time.

"How much will you call?" Phahurat asked.

The player didn't answer, and Phahurat fired 40,000. The player called, and Phahurat showed {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}. His opponent mucked {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}.

"Man," Phahurat said after the hand. "I played that like a f***ing chicken."
