Carnero Wins Big Pot After Intense Stare Down

Level 14 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

With 55,000 in the middle and a flop of {7-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} the big blind bet 17,000 and was called by Martin Carnero in the small blind.

Throughout the entirety of the hand, both players were staring intently at each other with neither daring to blink. The {2-Spades} turn allowed the big blind to continue for 45,000. Carnero made the call.

The big blind bet 90,000 on the {6-Spades} river. Carnero cut out calling chips, then reviewed the remainder of his stack. He eventually slid in the calling chips and discovered his opponent only had ace-high with {a-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}. Carnero tabled {k-Spades}{4-Spades} for a pair of fours which was good enough to win a huge pot.
