We just saw John O'Shea moved all in preflop and he got no action on his shove. There was a four-bet to 118,000 chips in the middle from Olof Haglund after which O'Shea moved all in. Haglund quickly folded and O'Shea picked up another pot.
Raoul Refos raised to 20,000 preflop and Mantas Visockis three-bet to 45,000 from the button. Both blinds folded and Refos four-bet to 85,000, Visockis called.
The flop brought out and Refos checked to Visockis who quickly checked behind.
On the turn the showed up and Refos bet 37,000. Visockis called rather quickly and the board was completed with the . Refos grabbed more chips and bet 105,000. Visockis went into the tank for quite some time but eventually he decided to fold.
As soon as Visockis' cards hit the muck Refos turned over 
and people both on and around the table started smiling.
"Just behave Raoul," Ruben Visser said laughing in Dutch to his fellow countryman as Refos said that he just liked it a lot. There's a lot of smiling and bluffing going on on Table 2 while we're also still playing for a lot of money!
