Jonas Mackoff Shoves the Turn

Feb 24, 2018

After a flop of Spade QHeart 6Spade 4 with 1,875 already in the pot, action checks to a player in middle position, who bets 2,100. Jonas Mackoff check-raises from the big blind to 6,500, and the under-the-gun player tanks for a while before he folds.

The middle-position player tanks for a while before he calls and says, “Big hand.”

The turn card is the Diamond 5, and Mackoff asks to see his opponent’s remaining stack, which is about 12,500. Mackoff pauses for a moment before he announces that he’s all in, and puts out his entire stack of 22,000.

Mackoff is like a statue as his opponent tanks for a very long time. Eventually, his opponent asks, “Show me if I fold?” But Mackoff gives no answer, remaining motionless. A short while after that, the player in middle position flashes one card — the Heart Q — and folds. Mackoff takes the pot without showing anything.
