Marcos Exterkotter opened to 50,000 from the button and Boshuang Gao raised to all but 40,000. When action was back on Exterkotter he four-bet all-in.
Gao stated he was going to take a minute before making the call. Gao remarked, "When you raised I thought you were strong." The other players at the table joked and acknowledged that he would want some time to potentially ladder up.
Finally Gao decided to put the remaining 40,000 in. When both players turned their hands over Gao joked that he was ahead.
Boshuang Gao: 4♠4♥
Marcos Exterkotter: A♦K♥
The flop immediately paired Exterkotter's ace and the remainder of the board was no help.
3♦5♣A♣8♣Q♠ sent Gao to the rail.
