Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Action folded to Nicholas Skyllas on the button, and he raised to 2,000. Both the small blind Boris Kravets, and the big blind Chan Kim made the call.

The flop came 5♠3♦A♠ and Kravets led out for a bet of 3,300, and Kim made the call. Skyllas folded to leave the players heads up to a turn.

After the K♣ hit the turn, Kravets bet again, this time for 13,000. Kim took his time making his decision, and he eventually decided to raise all in, which got a snap fold from Kravets to give the pot to Kim.

Nicholas Skyllas	180,000 30,000	30,000
Chan Kim	90,000 30,000	30,000
