Back and Forth for Avitan, Skampa

From the button, Jan Skampa limped in, and the blinds came along for the first family pot of this level. And it would be quite a pot.

The flop rolled out {10-Diamonds}

. First to speak, Eyal Avitan stuck out a bet of 200,000. Mattsson didn't waste any time calling, and neither did Skampa as we continued three-handed.

Fourth street came the {6-Hearts}

, and this time Avitan and Mattsson checked. Skampa deliberately counted out 435,000 and slid it forward. Avitan quickly matched the bet, and Mattsson finally had a hunch that he should get out of this pot.

The last card off was the {4-Spades}

, and Avitan passed again. Skampa, robot-like, pulled 950,000 chips down from his pyramid and moved them in with both hands. After a pause to think it over, Avitan called to put a pot of 3.625 million up for grabs!

Skampa was first to show, and he couldn't show much; he knew he was beaten when he tabled {8-Hearts}
