Hilberts Loses Massive Pot on the River
Thijs Hilberts was facing a tough decision in the flop, where he had raised to 15,000 after his opponent's continuation-bet, and his opponent went all in for 75,000 chips.
Hilberts was considering whether to call or not, asking his opponent if he would show him his cards if he folds. His opponent replied that he will show only one, and after some more deliberation he decided to call. The other player in the hand said "Nice call," and the two players opened their cards.

Hilberts was ahead with this pair but he still had to fade some outs. The 
on the turn gave some extra outs for a gutshot to the other player, and the 
on the river was one of them, prompting Hilberts to hit his card on the table with frustration.
Still, Hilberts has around 80,000 but with this pot he would have catapulted himself to the chip leaders of Day 1b.
