The player from the under-the-gun +1 position raised to 300 and Tobias Peters called from the cutoff, as did Uri Reichenstein from the small blind.
The flop came down 
and all three players checked to see the 
turn. It checked to Peters and he fired a bet of 700 this time. Reichenstein called and the other player got away.
The 
river completed the board and Reichenstein check-called a bet of 1,600 from Peters, but he mucked his cards when he saw the Dutchman open up 
for the nuts.
