Florian Lohnert Fires a Giant River Bet

There was close to 2,000,000 in the pot already, and the board read . Florian Lohnert was first to act, and he slid out a big river bet of 1,775,000. Shawn Daniels, the other player in the hand, dropped into the tank, thinking for nearly two minutes before finally throwing his hand away.

The ESPN camera crews moved in to record the hands for their production team.

"Could you show me that one?" Daniel asked.

"We're recording yours first," David Tuchman replied.

"Lift that second one a little higher," Daniel said.

The crew lifted each hand up one at a time as they looked at each players hands, then moved away from the table. As they walked away, laughter could be heard.

"Your hand was so bad they were laughing at it?" Daniels joked after the hand.
