We picked up the action as four players took a flop of . The first two players checked to Martin Kabrhel, and he took the lead with a bet of 175. Jason Mercier called next door, but the Italian gentleman in the small blind check-raised to 575. Kabrhel and Mercier both called, and it was three ways to the turn.
It was a board-pairing , and the Italian led out with another 875 chips. That was enough to earn the pot as his two opponents quickly folded in turn. Kabrhel and Mercier smirked at each other, and the latter said, "We might have had the same hand."
"But I had backdoor as well," Kabrhel answered matter-of-fact.
"Me too," came Mercier's reply, accompanied by another big smirk. "Maybe we didn't have the same hand."
