The board read {k-Spades}{5-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{7-Spades}{9-Hearts} with around 45,000 in the middle. Ari Engel checked from late position and his opponent bet 35,000. Engel was sent into the tank and, eventually, the clock was called. With around five seconds left to act before his hand would be dead, Engel tossed in chips to call.

"Good call," his opponent said as he flipped over {a-Spades}{6-Spades}. Engel showed {j-Spades}{j-Clubs} and the dealer pushed the pot his way. "I missed everything, but I don't know how you called," Engel's opponent said as he walked away from the table.

"It's because he's a wizard," mentioned another player on the table as everyone chuckled.
