The floor was called over to the table which already had Gal Yifrach and Andre Akkari seated at it. James Calderaro had just been moved to this table as his old one got broken up. Yifrach claimed that he had seen one of big blind Akkari's cards. The dealer explained the situation to the floor, Yifrach explained again that he saw a red picture card. The floor looked at Akkari's cards and then got another floor person over to confirm the decision; the other floor ruled that play would just continue as is. Akkari looked a bit stumped but play did continue.

Yifrach raised to 8,000 from the late position and was called by the player in the hijack, Allen Nielson in the cutoff, and Akkari himself in the big blind.

The flop came {7-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}, Akkari checked, Yifrach continued with a bet of 15,000. The hijack raised to 35,000 and both Nielson and Akkari folded.

"There I go with the picture cards..." Akkari commented.

Yifrach called to see the {a-Spades} on the turn. Yifrach quickly bet 15,000, his opponent raised to 55,000 and Yifrach responded with a shove of 165,000 which was snap-called.

Gal Yifrach: {a-Hearts}{7-Spades}
Opponent: {a-Clubs}{4-Clubs}

They had both flopped two pair and turned a full house but Yifrach was ahead with the higher full house.

The river completed the board with the {k-Diamonds} as a formality and the bracelet winner got paid the full double-up.
