Snejberg:
Itsenko:

The turn and river were both blanks and Snejberg quadrupled up. Mokni and Mustafov weren't too pleased, allegedly they'd both had ace-king.

The fop was and Blaha flopped a gutshot Royal Flush draw, the short-stack made two pair and then improved on the turn to a full house. The only card in the deck that Blaha could hit was the and that's exactly the card that came on the river to the astonishment of almost all.
