A preflop raising war between Giacomo Maisto (utg+1) and Rino Mathis (big blind) was in an advanced stage when we got there - the presumably five-bet from Mathis was 7,300, and Maisto had just gone all in for 19,850. Mathis cleared his throat when the amount of the shove was ascertained. He poured himself a glass of water and stared at the felt for a while. Eventually he called.

Mathis: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}
Maisto: {4-Spades}{4-Diamonds}

Board: {2-Spades}{4-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}

Mathis was reduced to just 1,700, which went in from the small blind next hand to a cutoff raise from Andrzej Siemieniak. "Why didn't I look at your stack?" lamented Siemieniak with a giggle; he called anyway and was still giggling as Mathis busted out.

Mathis: {6-Clubs}{6-Hearts}
Siemieniak: {j-Spades}{7-Spades}

Board: {q-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{8-Spades}{3-Hearts}
