Charles Calfelis limped on the button. Ramon Barmettler mistakenly folded in the small blind when he had the option to check, causing much amusement at the table. Peter Wetli checked his option in the big blind.
The Q♥7♣9♣ flop was checked through by both players.
On the A♦ turn, Wetli led out with a bet of 200 and was called by Calfelis.
On the A♠ river, Wetli again slid out a bet of 200 and Calfelis called. Wetli showed 7♥3♦ for a pair of sevens, which was sufficient to cause Calfelis to muck his hand.
