A player on the button had a T5,000 chip in front of him on a 
board, and Artan Dedusha had made it 8,000 from under the gun. A middle-position player also had 8,000 in front of him, though it wasn't clear if he had bet and gotten called or cold-called two aggressive moves. The player on the button used a time extensions and folded.
On the river, Dedusha quickly bet 12,500, and that was enough to win him the pot.
