Joao Barbosa limped in on the button (a practice growing more popular with both players tonight) and Nico Behling checked his option. Both players checked the {10-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

{6-Spades}

{6-Diamonds}

flop. The {5-Diamonds}

{5-Diamonds}

on the turn prompted a 22,000 bet from Behling and a call from Barbosa. The river was the {Q-Clubs}

{Q-Clubs}

and they checked it down.

Behling's {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{7-Clubs}

was the winner -- score one for Germany.
