Default Results, and reasoning.

No, I didn't fold. Although I've been trying to get my W$SD up by folding when I'm virtually certain I'm beat, there's no way I'm folding this monster pot for one bet. I'm afraid Ed would come to my house and pound me.

My reason for not raising the turn, and maybe I'm wrong, or just shell-shocked after so many bad beats, is that in such a huge pot, nobody is folding, so raising the turn isn't going to push anybody out. If I'm beat, I don't see any reason to spew anymore chips, I just want to get to SD as cheaply as possible and get it over with. Also, by just calling and waiting to see if anyone else raises, at least I know who hit. After the turn I was convinced that UTG+1 had the set and SB and button were just hanging on and hoping.

Here's the final damage. I think this is the biggest pot in BB I've ever been in. The table broke up within three hands.
