In The Netherlands there's a saying "Wie 't kleine niet eert, is 't grote niet weerd", or like they say in English; "He that can not keep a penny shall never have many". This for sure goes for David Boyaciyan who's keen on small pots, and just won another one.
Pascal Hartmann opened to 1,100 from middle position and Boyaciyan in the big blind was the only caller. Boyaciyan and Hartmann checked both the flop and turn. The river came the and Boyaciyan bet out 1,600. Hartmann made the call by tossing in a single 100 chip, but would soon have to add the other 1,500 as Boyaciyan showed and Hartmann mucked.
On a board of Fedor Holz checked from the cutoff to David Abramov on the button. The man from Austria bet 10,125 and Holz tanked for several minutes before calling.
Abramov showed just and Holz had (again) . Holz was good with his king-high and Marko Busic again commented how big a donk Holz was, though we're not sure how serious Busic was with that comment.
"I'm afraid of this guy!" laughed Ivan Stefanovic with a serious overtone.
The next hand Holz would tangle with Busic.
Holz opened to 1,100 from the hijack and Busic flatted on the button. The big blind came along as well and the three of them saw a flop of . The big blind checked and Holz did the same. Busic checked behind.

Both players checked the on the turn and the popped up on the river. Holz checked again, and Ramik did the same after some thinking.
Holz showed for a rivered pair of tens. Ramik tabled for the flopped open ended straight flush draw with a pair, and a rivered straight.
"What is he doing with king ten" laughed Marko Busic who wasn't involved in the hand. "He could've been dead" he said to his neighbor in the one seat. He then mumbled something like "he'll donk it of". Holz just sat there silently, not reacting to the comments in any way.
On a board of we just saw Ognyan check call a bet of 4,600 from Gerald Karlic. On the river both Dimov in the blinds and Karlic in late position checked. Dimov quickly showed he had gotten lucky with his , he had missed the flush but rivered the pair, Karlic mucked.

On a flop of on the table we saw Gaelle Baumann bet out 2,700 from the small blind. Luca Giovannone in the hijack raised it up to 6,400 and Baumann made the call.
The French lady checked on the turn. Giovannone leaned forward, stared at the board for a second or two, scratched his head, and checked behind.
The fell on the river and Baumann bet out a mere 3,500. "Thirty five hundred?" asked Giovannone. The dealer nodded and Giovannone glanced at his stack. He took 9,000 and tossed it in the middle.
Baumann almost immediately folded. Giovannone was so kind to show his hand: .
