Nawar and Balaev Tangle

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Viacheslav Balaev opened the button and Joseph Nawar defended his big blind to the 1046 flop, where Nawar check-called a bet of 3,500 from Balaev.

A 2 on the turn saw Nawar check again, then Balaev threw out 9,000. Nawar tossed in one white chip, worth 25,000, and intended to raise, but didn't say anything so it went down as a call.

When the 2 paired the board on the river, Nawar again tossed out a white chip, and this time the bet was for the full amount of 25,000. Balaev didn't need to think for too long before he folded, and Nawar took the pot.
