Stephen Smith raises from the cutoff to 325,000, A.J. Kelsall reraises from the button to 875,000, and Smith goes into the tank for a long time.

Smith eventually admits that he saw Kelsall’s hands shake when he made that bet, and he’s just trying to decide if he was shaking because it was a bluff, or shaking because it was a monster. Kelsall agrees to show his cards if Smith does.

Smith eventually folds Club ASpade 10 face up, and Kelsall turns over Spade JDiamond 8. Smith says, “Ooh! You were shaking for the right reason.”

A.J. Kelsall  –  6,800,000  (45 bb)
Stephen Smith  –  3,800,000  (25 bb)
