We managed to catch up to Richard Toth who was facing a 2,500 chip bet on a board. With around 6,000 already in the pot Toth went into the tank to contemplate a call. After two minutes or so Toth threw in the appropriate amount of chips. Toth's opponent immediately mucked, when it was on Toth to show his cards to claim the pot he simply let them lay there face down. The dealer announced that someone needed to show in order to win the hand, so Toth flipped over for a pair of aces and the pot.
