Level 7
: 400/800, 800 ante
Action was picked up on the river in a pot with roughly 63,000 in the center between Kenny Huynh in the small blind and Valentin Oberhauser in middle position.
On a board reading 
, Huynh checked to Oberhauser who bet 45,000 which Huynh folded, giving Oberhauser a massive pot.
The following hand, Oberhauser raised to 1,800 in early position and on the button Kenny Huynh three-bet to 6,000 which folded out all other players except for Oberhauser who called.
The flop came out 
and Oberhauser check-called a bet of 4,500 from Huynh.
The 
rolled off on the turn and Huynh bet once more, this time to the tune of 18,000 which Oberhauser once more called.
On the 
river card, Oberhauser checked a third time to Huynh who bet 45,000 which sent Oberhauser into the tank. After thinking about it for some time he called and Huynh turned over 
for king high, which Oberhauser could beat with his
