The same action repeated on the J♥ turn for 9,600 before Silva De Morgado also checked the J♠ river. Keller made it 32,000 to go and Vega Meister folded. Silva De Morgado just called but mucked when he was shown the K♥Q♣3♣3♥ for treys full of jacks.

Stefanelli Saves Chips With a Set; Sadovyi Tilted

Christian Zetzsche

Level 2 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

On a heads-up river of K♥6♣2♦A♥3♦, Bruno Stefanelli bet 4,500 and table neighbour Oleksandr Sadovyi tossed in a large chip without declaring anything. He then insisted "I said pot" while Stefanelli already exposed his K♦K♣9♥6♦ for a set of kings.

Neither the dealer nor any of the players at the table could confirm the pot-sized raise and the floor was called, it was ruled as a call only. Sadovyi was visibly tilted, perhaps due to the fact that his 9♠5♠4♥3♣ was the nut straight.
