In one of the last hands dealt to close out Level 24, the tournament's two chip leaders went toe-to-toe for a pot worth more than 2 million chips.
Brett Radin opens to 51,000 from the cutoff, and Idan Raviv (pictured) responds with a three-bet to 148,000. After a long staring contest between the two, Radin cuts out a four-bet to 301,000 and slides it forward. Raviv is unfazed though, and he calmly places a five-bet of 582,000 into the middle.
Radin asks for a count and examines his remaining stack - which sits around 1.7 million at this juncture - before deciding to flat call and see the flop.
Raviv continues his aggressive line by leading out for 366,000, and after a minute or so of deliberation Radin calls to peel the off on the turn. This time Raviv's bet is for 570,000, sending Radin deep into the tank for a four-minute period of contemplation.
"It's Idan, right?" asks Radin from across the table. "Wow..."
Finally, after a tense stare down between the two players Radin uncaps his cards and slips them to the dealer, prompting a visible exhalation from Raviv, who then begins chattering with his friends on the rail in a language other than English. Someone asks Raviv a question about his hand, and the universal word "no" rings out - perhaps signalling either that he had nothing, or that he wasn't bluffing.
Still exhaling heavily, Raviv then slides his cards forward and tells Radin he can see just one. Radin grunts that he doesn't care which, at which point Raviv flips over the with an icy expression on his face.
"I had kings..." reports Radin, before working through Raviv's possible holdings. "Jacks there? Really went crazy with jacks?"
Idan Raviv - 4,600,000
Brett Radin - 1,300,000
