Artsiom Lasouski and Gaspare Sposato had each put in 4,000 chips into a pot of 16,000 on a flop of Q♣K♣9♣. Lasouski then checked from the small blind on the 8♦ turn, after which Sposato bet 14,000 in the big blind.
Lasouski called to the 5♥ river, where he faced an all-in bet for 25,000 from his opponent.
This sent Sposato into a small tank. Eventually, he folded his cards and forfeited the pot to Lasouski.
Meanwhile, PokerStars Ambassador Andre Akkari had chipped up to nearly three starting stacks at this table.
