The River Check-Raise
Level 2
: 400/800, 100 ante
With 
on the table we saw Steven Silverman check from the small blind, and Dutch player Rachid Ben Cherif check from the big blind. Alexander Kostritsyn on the button made it 3,000 and Silverman quickly folded. Ben Cherif made the call however after which both players checked the 
on the turn. Ben Cherif checked again on the 
river and Kostritsyn bet out 8,200. Ben Cherif gave it some thoughts, and eventually made it 24,800 to go. Kostritsyn folded, leaving the pot to the only Dutch player in the field today.
