Four-way on a flop of A♠2♦8♣, everybody folded to the button who bet 10,000. The small blind folded, but Mikael "Shishi" Berrio in the big blind made the call. The fourth player in the cutoff folded.
On the J♦ turn, the button fired a second barrel of 17,000, and Shishi check-called once again. It was the last action on the day, as both players checked the 10♣ river.
First player to reveal his cards, Shishi flipped over 8♦2♣ for two pair. The player on the button didn't expect that and showed his surprise before sending his cards into the muck.
