Rui Milhomens raises to 230,000 from the small blind and Martin Gudvangen calls.

The flop is {2-Clubs}

{2-Clubs}

{5-Spades}

{10-Spades}

and both players check. The turn is the {7-Hearts}

{7-Hearts}

and Milhomens checks a second time, which to a Norwegian is like a red rag to a bull. Gudvangen bets 305,000 but Milhomens quickly calls.

The river is the {K-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

and Milhomens checks once more, Gudvangen bets 620,000 this time. Milhomens makes the call but the Norwegian shows {10-?}

{10-?}

{8-?}

and it's good. Milhomens, whose surname means 'A Thousand Men' in English is crippled as a result.
