Dion bet into Mosele for 1,400 and found a call. They saw a turn card and Dion continued the aggression with a 3,200 bet. A river card however saw Dion check and then fold to a bet of 5,000 from Mosele.

Over on table four there's some very aggressive people playing poker. Hands rarely go to show down, and no flop is seen for cheap. Also, there's a lot of chips on that table as we imagine some players have already been busted at the table in the far right corner of the room.
You have the seasoned pro (Jan Sjavik, who was winning tournaments before most of his table mates were even in High School), the femme fatale (Ana Marquez), the bracelet winner (Simeon Naydenov), the qualifier (Robert Agayan) and the guy who won the Florida State Poker Championships three years a go (Connor Drinan). And all other players look like they know what they're doing as well.
We stood around for a little bit to check what was going on. Enough action, that's wat was going on!
1) Filippo Marrocolli opened the button and Jan Sjavik made the call from the big blind. Sjavik check called the 700 continuation-bet his Italian opponent made on , and checked again as the hit the turn. Marrocolli bet out 1,050, but quickly folded once Sjavik check-raised to 2,500.
2) Simeon Naydenov opened for 900 and Federico Piroddi made the call from the hijack. Marrocolli in the cut off squeezed to 3,300 and everyone folded.
3) Naydenov opened again, this time from middle position. Marrocolli in the hijack made the call and Robert Agayan made it 2,100. Both players called and it was three way to the flop; . Naydenov and Marrocolli checked to Agayan who bet 3,500. Naydenov check-raised to 7,600 and Marrocolli folded. Agayan called, but he folded after Naydenov shoved all in on the -turn.
