Da Silva Lies to Save His Tournament Life on the Bubble
Level 16
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
The pot stood at approximately 35,000, with two players looking at a flop of 4♠10♣K♠.
Carlos Henrique Da Silva, in the big blind, moved all in for 26,000, sending his opponent, in the hijack, deep into the tank.
After some time, Da Silva confessed to his opponent that he had a big hand, but he still didn't want to be called because of the pending bubble, claiming he had a king.
"You show if I fold?" asked the hijack. Da Silva obliged.
The hijack pushed his cards over the line, prompting Da Silva to roll over A♠Q♣ for a straight draw.
"Oh... you lied," uttered the hijack as he showed he had, in fact, folded Q♠Q♦.
