Level 7 : 250/500, 75 ante

Table 4 has been fairly fractious all day. Hrayr Balagamian in particular has been pretty vocal since a disputed floor ruling about how much he had to put in when attempting a raise left him fuming when he had to fold to subsequent action on the flop. It cost him a lot of chips and perhaps dented his pride a little.

Here though he was up against fellow Lebanese player Nabil Matta who had raised to 1,000 from first position. Balagamian was the only caller from the big blind and they checked it to the river on a board of {7-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}. Balagamian bet a paltry 600 and was shrug called by Matta with {a-Hearts}{3-Hearts}. It beat Balagamian’s {q-Hearts}{9-Spades}
