of his opponent. The river was an insignificant 
and the Dutchman was bumped back to the starting stack.

John Duthie had to give up a large pot on the tail end of a board 
when Hadi Khordbin bet and wasn't quite amused.
"I had three nines," Duthie said in table chat while Khordbin insisted that he had been ahead all the way with a flopped flush.
One hand later, [Removed:464] raised to 1,500 and Duthie three-bet to 4,500. "Is this a tilt raise?" the Lithuanian inquired and Duthie nodded. Semaska was curios enough to see the 
flop that got checked through. The turn was checked by Semaska and Duthie bet 5,000 to take it down.
