Big Stax 500 (Day 2): Brutal Spot

Level 16 (Blinds 2,500/5,000/500)
Players Remaining: 117
Chip Average: 294,000

Henry Guttman

We walked over to Table 50 as a hand between Mike Dentale and Day 1A chip leader Henry Guttman was on the river.  The pot was about 150,000, and the board was 8 4 6 8 2.  Guttman had put out a 38,000 river bet, which Dentale raised to 100,000.  Henry three-bet all-in (having Dentale covered), and Mike was in the tank for about four minutes talking the hand through.  He made it known that he had a full house, but was convinced that he may of been beat.

Mike counted out his chips to see what he would be left if he was to fold, and also did some talking to Guttman (but would get no reaction).  Dentale would eventually make the call and see Guttman table pocket fours (turned full house).  Mike showed 22 (rivered full house), and exited the tournament area at a swift pace.
