Engel's Cards Don't Change

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Ari Engel was in position (cutoff) betting 2,000 on the {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} flop. Small blind Martin Staszko called, and they continued toward the turn.

The {J-Diamonds} landed next to the flop, and Staszko opted to lead for 5,000 himself. Engel called. Staszko pushed another 10,500 into the middle when the {3-Hearts} hit the felt on the river. This time, Engel needed more time to figure out his plan. He spent about a minute thinking, and then he peeked at his hole cards. He took another minute and gave his cards one more look.

Unfortunately for Engel, he still wasn't happy enough with what he saw, and eventually laid it down.
