Three players made it to the flop and Jean Francois Talbot and Sami Kelopuro in the blinds checked to Nicolas Chouity under the gun who bet 115,000. Talbot passed, Kelopuro called and they proceeded.
The turn was the and both players checked so they saw a river for free. Keolpuro checked again but this time Chouity bet 250,000. Kelopuro dwelled up for a while, but finally opted to fold.
Jean Francois Talbot raised to 75,000 and Claudiu Saizu shoved again, this time for 645,000. Talbot made the call before the all in had even been counted.

Board:
The ace on the river was good to double Saizu up to around 1.35 million. "Woohoo!" he cried, "I am back in business!"
It looked as though David Sesso shoved for 272,000 and Andrew Chen reshoved for 454,000. Everyone else got out of their way, and they were on their backs.
With the board reading Sami Kelopuro fired out 255,000 on the river against Claudiu Saizu. The Romanian quickly called but was aghast when Kelopuro turned over . Saizu turned over , annoyed that he had been outdrawn.
Aleh Plauski raised preflop to 74,000. Josef Klinger and Kevin Eyster made the call from the blinds.
All three checked the flop allowing the action to continue to the turn. Klinger checked again and Eyster fired out 116,000, the two other players quickly folded.
We caught up with the action on the flop, which Claudiu Saizu checked from the big blind position. Sami Kelopuro bet 80,000 form the button - only for Saizu now to check-raise to 235,000 with 430,000 behind. Kelopuro thought about it for a long time, before reraising to cover. Saizu bent over the table and dwelled up for a while before folding, leaving himself somewhat short-stacked.
A hand or two later and Sami Kelopuro made a raise of 70,000 which Nicolas Chouity called behind. Claudiu Saizu shoved from the button, and immediately ordered Chouity, who seemed just to be telling Kelopuro the action so far (ie. that he had called and Saizu had shoved) not to speak to Kelopuro. Either way, the action was back on Kelopuro, who reraised. Chouity folded and they were on their backs.

Nope. Kelopuro swore under his breath as Saizu doubled to just under a million.
