meant the 
river was academic, and Kennedy doubled through.
flop bet of 400 to 1,200.Reid fired out 3,500 on the
turn before betting another 3,000 on the 
river. Wright sighed and said, "I've improved on the end," making the call but mucking when Reid flipped

There was no snap-call though, but instead a slow counting out of chips before Jelassi's opponent thought better of it and flung his
face up into the muck.

flop before firing on the turn as well. The river was another and it went check-check, his opponent flipped 
and the eight kicker played.
