In a pot of 2,500 chips, Ciprian Olariu made a bet of 700 on a flop of 7♥5♦9♣. His opponent was Emmanuel Wouters in the cutoff, and he put in a raise to 2,600. That was not enough for Olariu, however, as he reraised to 6,600.
Wouters confirmed the amount and made the call, after which both players checked the 3♣ turn. On the 6♦ river, Olariu picked up the betting again by putting 3,100 chips in the middle. A swift call followed from Wouters, and Olariu tabled A♣5♠ for just a pair of fives.
Wouters, on the other hand, was sitting on an overpair with his J♥J♦ and took down the big pot to reach double the starting stack.
