The pot built up to 2,000 before the 
came on the flop. The action checked around to the fourth player who bet 800. Hassan Sey raised to 3000. Bjorn-Erik Fagerliroen cold-called and the original better also called.
Sey checked after the 
came on the turn and Fagerliroen bet out for 4,000. The third player in the hand folded and Sey called.
Sey checked again after the 
completed the board on the river. Fagerliroen bet 7,000. Sey paused for a moment before he made the call. Fagerliroen turned over 
for the nut flush which was good enough to win the hand after Sey tossed his hand facedown into the muck.

Aki Foudilainen bet 2,500 into a pot of over 5,000 with the 
on the board. Johan Lindqvist raised to 7,500 and a third player in the pot folded. Foudilainen paused for a minute before he reraised to 28,500 with about 5,000 left behind in his stack.
Lindqvist, who had about 13,000 behind, went into the tank for several minutes and was talking out his thoughts.
"Should I fold a full house?" asked Lindqvist. "You are so tight. I have seven-three."
LIndqvist eventually made the call and got out of his chair when he saw Foudilainen had 
for a full house sixes over treys. As a man of his word, Lindqvist showed he did have a full house himself and turned over 
before he left the table.
