Alex Goulder opened to 700 from his seat in the cutoff and found callers in the shape of Gavin Mills (button) and Jon Spinks (big blind). As the dealer placed the flop onto the black felt, Goulder watched Spinks' every move.
This means he definitely saw Spinks lead out with a 1,750 bet, a bet that folded out both Goulder and Mills, leaving Spinks to win another pot.
Just before that hand took place, Chris Sly joined the table having had his previous table broken by the floor staff.

With 7,000 already in the pot, David Gent led for 2,600 on the from his seat in the big blind. Next to act was Praz Bansi two seats to Gent's left. Bansi was watching Gent like a hawk watches its prey, but he could not pick up anything from his opponent and he mucked his hand.
Bansi informed us he is jetting to Macau to compete in the super high roller that takes place in a few days time. Will he be heading to the Far East with the ISPT's €1,000,000 first place prize in tow.

Pete Linton opens from middle position for 700 and gets called by an unfamiliar face in the big blind.
The dealer puts out a flop of The mystery man in the big blind checks and Linton follows up with a bet of 800 which is quickly called.
The turn is a and the action slows down with a check / check.
Faced with a seemingly innocuous river card of the mystery man in the big blind fires out 4,000.
Linton seems taken aback by the aggression on the river, and after thinking for a few minutes he decides to test his table talk.
“Where you from?” Linton asks. “France?”
“No France.” Our mystery man responds. “I tell you after.”
“I never trust a French man” Linton continues. “You got ace nine of spades? How much more you got left? I wish I had ace queen here. Arrgh, you’re torturing me now.”
Curiosity finally gets the better of Linton and he throws out the four yellow chips to call.
Mystery man shows him for the winning straight and Linton mucks his hand.
“You are from France.” Linton insists.
“No, no. Next time I tell you.” Says the mystery man, adding Linton’s chips to his stack.
Michael Tureniec fired out a bet of 900 on a board in a multiway pot with only Gary Jones making the call. The Swede then fired 2,100 on the turn and again Jones made the call to see the river.
Tureniec now slowed down and checked and Jones quickly bet a chunky-looking 8,000 chips. The emotionless Tureniec thought for about a minute but opted to fold, leaving himself with 34,000 while Jones has about 75,000.
Raymond Norton just gave us some information about a pretty cold hand at his table. Michael Maruna had opened preflop with four callers including Brijesh Das.
The flop was and Maruna bet 3,000 with Das the only caller. The came on the turn and Maruna now check-called a bet of 4,000 from his opponent to see the come on the river.
Maruna now led out for 6,000 only for Das to raise to 16,000. Maruna came back over the top, moving all in for 36,000 and Das instantly called with for the nut flush but unfortunately for him, Maruna turned over for a straight flush to double up in a huge pot.
Pawel Brzeski was first to act from under the gun and he raised to 1,000. Paolo Morris, to Brzeski's immediate left, three-bet to 2,600. The action passed to Carmelo Indorato in the cutoff and he cold-called the three-bet. Waheed "Wadey" Ashraf folded on the button but Marcel Luske woke up in the small blind with an apparent monster because he cold-four-bet to 13,600.
Dave "Devilfish" Ulliott mucked in the big blind, Brzeski followed soon after and it was not long before both Morris and Indorato tossed their cards into the muck.
From the cutoff, Waheed Ashraf opened to 1,000 and he found two callers. First to call was Dave "Devilfish" Ulliott in the small blind and Pawel Brzeski in the big blind.
The trio shared a flop, a flop that Devilfish led out on for 2,000. Brzeski was Devilfish's only customer. The turn brought the into play and Devilfish checked its arrival. Brzeski took up the role of aggressor and bet 3,725. Devilfish called. The fifth and final community card was the and now Devilfish reverted to betting and made it 8,000 to play. This seemed to puzzle Brzeski who sat replaying the hand over in his head before coming to the conclusion that he was probably beaten and he mucked his hand.
