Lance Climo moved all in from early position for his last 177,000 and the action folded to Simon Watt in the big blind. Watt asked for a count and seemed tempted but eventually released.
"Why didn't you call bro?" sighed Climo as he flashed !
Action folded to Gerome Guitteau in the small blind who declared himself all in against the short-stacked Jens Walther in the big blind. Walther had around 180,000 chips, and after a few minutes of thought, he declared a call.

Walther:
The board ran out and Walther finds a double up with his pair of kings.
"Thank you," chirped Walther.

Gerome Guitteau raised to 42,000 from the button and Jason Brown made the call in the big blind.
The flop fell and both checked. The turn was the and again both players checked. The river brought a repeat and Brown checked for a third time to Guitteau who took a stab with a bet of 56,000 chips. Brown instantly called.
