Belgian player "Kelmaison" suddenly boosted his stack to 140,000 after nailing a full house when he caught Ferhat Yildiz bluffing on a busted gutshot. He then got it in against Yildiz with aces versus the mighty deuce-seven when only a seven appeared on the flop. Yildiz turned another seven for the first double.
The all-in or fold style of Yildiz continued on the 
flop and "Kelmaison" called once more.
Ferhat Yildiz: 
"Kelmaison": 
Yildiz hit the 
turn and faded the river, causing plenty of laughter from everyone at the table. "Now I want to give it all," the Belgian joked as he had around half the starting stack left.

Giorgio Soceanu: 
Cecil Moagi:
