After a flop of [Qh10d4s] with about 75,000 in the pot from preflop action, Harrison Gimbel bets 36,000 from the small blind, Angelo "J.R." Miele raises from middle position to 72,000, and Gimbel reraises to 108,000. Miele calls.

The turn card pairs the board with the [4h], and Gimbel moves all in. Miele asks for an exact count, and it’s 186,000. Miele studies Gimbel for several minutes, but Gimbel remains quiet and motionless, avoiding eye contact by looking down at his stack.

Miele tries to engage Gimbel with a few questions, but Gimbel remains silent. Eventually, Miele asks, "If I fold, will you show?" He repeats the question a few times, but Gimbel says nothing.

Miele folds soon after that, and Gimbel takes the pot without showing his cards.

Harrison Gimbel  –  480,000  (120 BBs)
Angelo Miele  –  645,000  (161 BBs)
