Level 1 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante

With around 4,000 chips in the middle on a flop of 3♦K♦K♣, all three of Anton Siden, Daniel Budin, and Carli De Luigi all checked to see the 9♣ drop on the turn. Siden checked, Budin bet 3,000 De Luigi called, and Siden folded.

When the 8♣ completed the board on the river, Budin fired out a bet of 6,000, and De Luigi shoved! Budin had around 6,000 behind, but elected to fold, which meant De Luigi was pushed the pot.
