Ramzi Jelassi opened to 525 preflop from early position and got one caller, Sigurd Terpling, on the button.
Jelassi fired out 700 on the flop but Terpling raised to to 1,700 except the Swede didn't stop and immediately responded by making it 6,000 to go. Terpling thought for a moment and then made the call, the dealer putting out a straightening on the turn.
Now Jelassi checked and Terpling took the initiative again betting 7,500 but Jelassi didn't go anywhere and made the call.

And probably Aces full for his opponent, too... Team PokerStars Pro Vadim Markushevski received payment for a river raise holding on a board - his opponent mucked after dwell-calling the extra few thousand.
We arrived at Viktor Blom's table to find him looking down at a board. His opponent - we believe one Mihalis Morozous - checked, and Blom bet 5,600. Morozous called, but shrugged when Blom turned over for a straight. Morozous himself revealed for a most unfortunate loss.
"Nice hand," said Morozous.
"Thank you," said Blom - although in our minds this brief conversation read, "NH - TY".
John Duthie was a late arriver today at EPT Copenhagen, but the Team PokerStars Pro and creator of the EPT has had a good start, he just had a 2,050 bet paid off on the river of a board by Orjan Skommo. Duthie showed for a turned flush.
The board was reading and Helen Prager had fired out a bet of 4,300 on the river against former EPT London runner-up Michael Tureniec. The Swede was tanking before he made what he clearly perceived to be was a crying call, Prager turned over only to find out that Tureniec had her pipped with .
A flop of was checked to former EPT finalist Rasmus Nielsen who bet 1,000. Vojtech Ruzicka made the call while initial raiser Julian Stuer folded. However all action was seemingly killed by the turn which went check-check, as did the river. Ruzicka showed while Nielsen flashed his hugely drawy before sending it sailing into the much.
Peter Hedlund, with a healthy 36,100, is one of the few Day 1b players to have embraced chatting through the early levels. This has to be one of the most low-key fields in total ever seen on the EPT - there is occasionally some polite discussion of hands or queries aimed at the dealer, but the banter-ometer is reading close to zero.
He was last seen saying with a completely straight face to his tablemate, "You know, next year this event, the Main Event, is going to be Deuce to Seven."
The players get 15 minutes to mull over the start to their EPT experience, or just stand around drinking the free cartons of orange juice the Radisson Blu is kind enough to provide.
