It's a huge pot, you're seeing showdown.

If your sure that at best you have at least a one way split, I would characterize the pot as big but not huge, and I think that at best splitting the pot is almost a certainty here.

Now if the your vying for a 10 BB rather than a 20 BB win, how many bets are you willing to invest to get it? On the river it's at least two, and it might go to three or four. So your odds to see showdown on the river are somewhere between 2.5:1 and 5:1.
