Around 21,000 had made its way into the middle on a board of Q♥10♣2♥3♠, with Tomas Major all-in and competing for a 11,000 side-pot, and Jostein Groedum and Giovanni Capitano still active.
Groedum fired out a bet of 5,000, and Capitano called to see the 5♥ river.
Groedum slid out a further bet of 11,000, and Capitano folded.
Groedum tabled 2♣2♦ for a set, and that was more than enough against Major's A♣9♥.
