OMG Hax!!

The board reads {7-Clubs} {2-Clubs} {3-Hearts} {3-Spades} {10-Hearts} and Kristian Ulriksen is staring down at a 10,000 bet from Isaac Haxton which is, in effect, setting him all in. Ulriksen tanks before folding and the TV cameras, which have swarmed around the table like bees around a flower, ask him to show his cards to their little hole-camera (which looks like a mini-vacuum cleaner you'd find in a car).

"But I have no cards," replies the Norwegian stoically. The dealer passes him them back and he lifts them up for the camera to see before mucking them once more. Haxton does the same but as the American goes to muck, Ulriksen pleads, "Show one."

Haxton says, "Pick one," and in a split second the entire table points to the one on the left and Haxton flips the {10-Diamonds}.
