The atmosphere at the final table is relaxed, with almost all of the players settled in and comfortable with their deep stacks in front of them. Cary Katz is one of the players making small talk at the table and also raised to 25,000, with Marko Maher being the one to defend the big blind.

Katz kept the casual conversation going on a {q-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} flop while betting 35,000 and Maher called. On the {10-Hearts} turn, Katz flung in 100,000, but Maher countered with a check-raise to 330,000. Katz quickly called and yelled "Go diamond!"

The river was indeed one, the {a-Diamonds}, and both players quickly checked. Katz rolled over the {10-Spades}{7-Spades} for two pair and Maher mucked. After the hand, the players kept their casual conversation going and inquired about Maher's whereabouts, who hails from Slovenia, one of the successor states of the former Yugoslavia.
