After the first few hands Billavara seemed to get the best of both the cards and the action. He moved first at several pots and built up his stack. But Douglas managed to avoid a trap in one hand. He limped with J-6 and Billavara checked his option with 3-4 offsuit. The flop came A-J-3 and both players checked. The turn was another three -- and again both players checked. A four fell on the river, giving Billavara a full house, and this time he led out into the pot for 500K. Douglas thought it over, thinking that perhaps his jack was good...but he ended up throwing his hand away and avoided handing over a big chunk of his stack.
