Level 6:  400/800 with a 800 ante
Day 1B Entries:  968

With the final board showing and about 10,000 already in the pot, Eric Panayiotou moved all in from the small blind.

Mike Dentale was tanking in the hijack, and at one point he told Panayiotou, “Don’t show me a bluff. If I fold, don’t show me a bluff.”

Panayiotou said, “I will never show my cards.”

Dentale thought a little while longer before calling all in for about 7,000, flipping over his and immediately walking away, confident that he lost the hand.

On the other side of the table, Evan Teitelbaum pointed to Panayiotou and said, “Ace-king.”

Sure enough, Panayiotou turned over to win the pot with two pair, aces and sixes, eliminating Dentale, who was already several tables away and heading out the door.
