With the completed board showing the {7-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{4-Hearts}{k-Spades}{6-Clubs}, Sebastian Larsen checked from middle position. Koppany Balogh took a few moments before deciding to put his opponent all-in for his remaining 73,000.

Larsen made the snap-call.

Balogh rolled over his {k-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} for top pair but Larsen had flopped quads with his {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}.

Tempers Flaring on Table 10

Level 12 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Mariano Bucca opened to 7,500 from under the gun before Marco Carravieri three-bet to 20,000 from middle position. Niccolo Ceccarelli four-bet jammed for 137,000 from the cutoff and action folded to Bucca.

He took a whole three minutes before calling and as soon as action went on to Carravieri, Soner Vanelderen immediately called the clock.

Carravieri looked bemused and Vaneleren quipped "You be a dick, you get a dick," suggesting there was bad blood between the pair.

Carravieri made the fold and asked "What's your problem?"

"You!" replied Vaneleren.

Ceccarelli didn't mind as he raked in the pot.
