A big pot of 25,000 had been built when Mario Colavita and Cesar Garcia went to the J♥Q♠4♦ flop. Colavita checked from the hijack, prompting Garcia to bet 9,000 in the cutoff.
Colavita called to the 6♥ turn, which he also checked. Garcia sized up to 18,000, and another call followed from Colavita.
Colavita checked for a third time on the 9♠ river. Garcia quickly moved all in for 52,300, an amount covered by Colavita.
Colavita went deep into the tank. After a few minutes and some audible sighs, he mucked his cards, forfeiting the pot to his neighbor.
