A button raise from Avitan was followed by a reraise to 870,000 from Skampa. This represented not only significant action, but in a very real sense the only action that did not involve limping or checking for some time. A wall of various media and railers closed in on the table.
They saw a flop and, after a suitable pause, Skampa bet out 875,000. Call. The Wall Of Railers closed in further.
