After unknown action, Samuel Bernabeu reraises from the button to 2,500, Alex Rocha (pictured) reraises UTG+1 to 7,200, and Bernabeu calls.

The flop comes Spade QClub 6Diamond 2, Rocha thinks for a while before he bets 5,300, and Bernabeu thinks for a while before he calls.

The turn card is the Diamond A, and Rocha thinks for a while before he moves all in for about 18,500. Bernabeu quickly folds, and Rocha takes the pot.

A couple players ask Rocha to show his cards, with one asking to see a ten and another asking to see a jack. But Rocha takes the pot without showing, and then turns around to see bestbet Bounty Eric Nathan (a.k.a. Barstool Nate) standing behind him. Rocha says, “If I knew you were there, I would’ve showed you my cards. Or at least one.”

As he finishes stacking his chips, Rocha says, “Very lucky turn card. Very lucky. But I think I should’ve checked the flop.”
