Beuter Jams the River

Level 3 : 100/200, 200 ante

Pliska then called a bigger bet of 5,000 on the {7-Diamonds} turn before the {2-Clubs} river completed the board. Beuter jammed for around 20,000. Pliska went into the tank for more than a minute before he folded.

Rolf Galaasen bet what appeared to be a pot-sized bet of 1,500 after two players checked the {6-Clubs}{7-Spades}{q-Hearts} flop and got called by Frans Carlevag and Peder Paulsen.

Carlevag and Paulsen both checked the {7-Diamonds} turn. Galaasen bet 2,600. Carlevag folded and Paulsen called.

Both players checked after the {8-Hearts} completed the board. Paulsen turned over {q-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} for top pair.

"He has a better kicker," Galaasen said to the dealer as he flashed him a card and tossed his hand into the muck.
