In the last hand before the break, which was the last hand of Level 1, Rami Boukai raised to 1,000 from the cutoff and received calls from Michael Glick and Hasan Habib on the button and big blind respectively.
The 
flop saw Boukai bet 1,800 after Habib checked, and two calls ensued. When the turned, Habib checked, Boukai tossed out 5,000, and Glick made the call. Habib got out of the way and it was heads-up to the 
river.
This time Boukai opted to slow down with a check, which opened the door for Glick to fire out a bet of 14,000. Boukai quickly reached for chips as if he was going to call, but must have thought better of it as he tossed his cards into the middle instead.
