Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

"Klkmanin" raised to 6,500 under the gun and picked up three callers, including "Kriw" on the button.

The 8♦8♠4♠ flop was checked through and the 6♣ fell on the turn. "Klkmanin" then bet 15,000 and only "Kriw" called.

The river was the 10♦ and "Klkmanin" bet another 36,000. "Kriw" then moved all in, sending "Klkmanin" deep into the tank.

"I thought on the turn you were going to have sixes," Klkmanin said, taking nearly five minutes until another player at the table called the clock.

"You have a full house, right?" "Klkmanin added, letting the countdown reach zero before tossing Q♣8♣ into the muck.

"Pick one," "Kriw offered, and "Klkmanin" choose the 7♦ as "Kriw" took the big pot, climbing up past 300,000 and in contention for the chip lead.
