Michael Phelps opened the button to 400 and only Andrew Lichtenberger in the big blind made the call. {9-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{J-Hearts} on the flop and we must confess; a single moment of not paying attention and we missed the action. We know for sure both players committed 400 to the pot but we're not sure if Lichtenberger lead for that amount, or just check-called it.

The action on the {J-Spades} turn was very much clear to us as we saw Lichtenberger bet out 1,200. Phelps made the call and he did that as well when Lichtenberger bet out 2,700 on the {10-Clubs} on the river. Lichtenberger said something that made it clear he didn't have anything good, and Phelps showed his {Q-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} to take down the pot.
