After Hissou checked again, Schemion fired out 41,500 chips, which Hissou called.

Level 2 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

The turn was the {10-Diamonds}. Heath check-called again, this time a bet of 16,000 from Dvoress.

The {q-Spades} filled out the board on the river. Heath checked once again. Dvoress bet 26,000, to leave himself a single 500 chip behind. Heath attempted to raise him all in for the last chip but it was ruled that it had to be a full raise and therefore just a call.
