Maliqi Wins at Showdown Without Revealing Cards
Level 8
: Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
Jiri Kotvas made it 3,500 from under the gun and got a call from Bleron Maliqi in the next seat. Belarmino De Souza also called from the cutoff.
The three saw a flop of 4♦A♥8♦ which Kotvas checked, Maliqi bet 5,000, De Souza folded, and Kotvas called.
Both checked the 8♣ turn to the 6♥ river where Kotvas fired 12,000. Maliqi didn't need to think for too long before he made the call.
Kotvas didn't feel like exposing his cards so just sent them into the muck, which meant Maliqi won at showdown with revealing his holding,
