Big Stacks Giving Back
Andrew Chen and Alex Bilokur are sat nearly with their backs to each other. It's not that they don't like one another, they're on adjacent tables is all. Both of them made it to the river in hand and both lost their respective pots to drop back a little.
Chen was in the big blind in a four-way pot. The flop was 
and the Canadian led for 2,500. Hidir Özcan
was the only caller to the 
turn where he raised Chen's 4,800 bet up to 10,000. Chen called but check-tank-folded to a 19,000 all-in bet from his German opponent.
Bilokur meanwhile raised from early position to 1,800 and [Removed:207] was the only caller from the big blind. The flop fell 
and Bilokur continued for 2,200. The German check-called before he check-raised up to 9,600 when he faced a 3,600 bet on the 
turn. Bilokur showed little emotion as he called.
The river fell 
and Fritzler led for 15,500. Bilokur took his time and made the call before mucking upon seeing his opponent's 
for a flush.
