In the first hand back from the dinner break, Alexandre Ventura Bolet raised to 350,000 with the

. Both flopped top pair on the 
flop and Hauser checked. Ventura Bolet then made it 450,000 to go only for Hauser to call.
The 
followed on the turn and Hauser checked once more, which prompted a second barrel for 450,000 by Ventura Bolet and the call by Hauser as the effective stack.
