Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Four-way to a 8♥5♦K♥ flop, Jorge Abreu checked from the small blind to Raphael Bilger in the big blind. Bilger made a bet of 50,000, prompting the two other players to muck their cards.

However, Abreu was interested in a turn and called. The 6♠ rolled off the deck. Bilger sized up to 175,000, seeing Abreu check-call again.

Bilger completed his triple barrel on the 10♥ river. After Abreu had checked again, Bilger bet 300,000 after using a time bank. Abreu made the call near the end of his shot clock.

"Nuts," Bilger stated as he tabled A♥9♥ for the rivered flush, causing Abreu to add his cards to the muck.
