Tim Baker

Eliran Argelazi, Gabriel Nastasa, and Niklas Astedt saw a flop of 4♦7♥10♥. Argelazi and Botteli checked to Astedt on the button. He bet 1,700 and only Argelazi called.

Both players chose to check the A♣ turn to see the 8♥ appear on the river. Argelazi led out for 2,400 and got snap-called by Astedt.

Argelazi sheepishly showed Q♥J♦ for just queen-high. Astedt won the pot with A♦2♦ for a turned pair of aces.

Picking up the action on the river, the board was reading 4♦5♦9♣7♦K♦ when Alex Lynskey in the hijack bet 8,000 and was called by Kevin Rabichow in the cutoff. However Andre Akkari in the small blind check-raised all-in for 52,200. He made Lynskey fold, but Rabichow went deep into the tank.

"Action was check-raise on the flop and everybody checked the turn," a player at the table explained while Rabichow was trying to make a decision.

After approximately 5 minutes, Rabichow eventually decided to fold and Akkari discreetly revealed 3♦3♣ for a very small flush.
