Seth Davies raised to 60,000 and Benjamin Pollak called in the big blind. On the 
flop, Pollak check-called a small bet and did so again for 180,000 on the 
turn. The 
river was checked by Pollak and Davies checked behind to get shown 
for trips queens by Pollak.

flop brought no betting action and Thorel led the 
turn for 150,000. Foxen moved all in and Thorel asked how much more the all in was for. Foxen's jam was for another 190,000 on top and Thorel let one time bank expire before sending his cards into the muck.
