The table mocked the red-hot running Renat Bohdanov for folding preflop and what followed was a raise by Christian Berg from one seat over. Elias Abou Saleh defended the big blind and check-jammed the ![]()

In the meanwhile, Albert Hoekendijk chipped up through Jason Wheeler when he defended the small blind. Wheeler wisely checked behind the ![]()

"Do you usually defend that?" Wheeler asked and Hoekendijk replied "small blind special".
