Turn {K-Clubs}

and this time both players check.

River: {3-Hearts}

Norinder bets 55,000 and after Sevilla deliberates for almost two minutes Norinder asks for the clock and within a second Sevilla announces all-in.

Norinder doesn't take long to make the call and tables {A-Hearts}

, a pair of Kings which is way ahead of Sevilla's {A-Clubs}
