| Mike Dentale |
Pileggi and McLaughlin checked from the blinds before Dentale put out a bet of 20,000. Pileggi folded and McLaughlin re-raised to 45,000, at which point Dentale asked to see Robert's remaining stack - sizing up his foe for a war of attrition.
Dentale made the call and the A♠ came out on the turn. McLaughlin quickly bet 100,000, sending Dentale into the tank for several minutes before he made the call.
The river brought the 10♦ and Robert immediately went all-in for his final 69,200. Dentale went into the tank once again, this time for nearly twice as long as before. He talked through the hand, said he had the A♣, asked why Robert only bet 100,000 on the turn, and asked McLaughlin if he would show him his cards if he folded.
Dentale stared him down, but McLaughlin never moved a muscle.
Mike would eventually make the call with A♣ 3♦, and McLaughlin revealed the flopped flush with Q♣ 3♣.
Dentale is still in pretty good shape with about the chip average while McLaughlin is up to around 450,000.
