With about 35,000 chips already in the middle, the board read 
in a hand between Matthias de Meulder and Sam Chartier. De Meulder checked and Chartier fired 10,200. After a bit of thought, de Meulder check-raised enough to put Chartier all in. Chartier gave it up and saw his stack lose another chunk.
