"Ace," said Skampa, turning over and winning the pot with his high card.
After that, there was a turn - but Avitan now bet out 300,000 and Skampa passed, ending the hand.
We could be here for some time.
Come the turn, Avitan bet out 325,000 and Skampa called. And similarly, Avitan bet out 625,000 on the river and Skampa called that.
Skampa turned over a rather cagily-played for two pair, while Avitan could only boast .
Chip counts after that:
Skampa 7.2 million, Avitan 10.4 million.
From the button, Eyal Avitan raised to 375,000. Stefan Mattsson instantly moved all in for from the small blind, and Avitan made the call to put him at risk!
Showdown
Avitan:
Mattsson:
Mattsson stood from his chair to sweat his fate, all in but in the lead. Who wants an exciting flop? The crowd gasped in unison as the dealer ran the first three cards: . Run better, Mr. Avitan. He had flopped the straight, but Mattsson wasn't quite dead yet, not by any means. The three spades gave him the only flush draw to go with his higher straight draw.
The turn was a black card, but it was a blank . The river was black too, but it had three petals and a stem as well. The was of no use to the at-risk Mattsson, making his inferior straight and marking his 3rd-place finish. It's been a remarkable run for Mattsson this week, earning the biggest tournament score, but his day is done.

But it was a massive lie, and the players all went off to break. Nice one, Kevin. Nice one, son.
