David Cabrera raised to 425,000 and was called by Stephen Gerber and Demosthenes Kiriopoulos in the big blind. The flop was checked by Kiriopoulos and Cabrera bet 525,000, which was called by Gerber only. After the turn, Cabrera fired another bet worth 1.7 million and Gerber folded deuces face-up. The Spaniard returned the favour and flashed the . Apparently, Gerber had used that hand in a previous hand between them and that was the pay back.
In the next hand, Cabrera raised to 425,000 and Roongsak Griffeth flat-called in the cutoff, as did George Holmes in the big blind. Following a flop, Holmes check-raised a bet of 500,000 by Griffeth to 1.7 million and Cabrera folded while Griffeth called.
The turn brought a bet worth two million by Holmes to receive a snap-call by Griffeth and he then reluctantly bet the river for four million. Griffeth tank-folded and was shown the for the nuts by Holmes.
