![]()
![]()
![]()
, only to be greeted by his opponent's ![]()

It was a case of right place, right time as the flop was spread ![]()
![]()
. Damien Auburtin bet out 400 and was raised by his opponent to 800. Auburtin called, and then checked both turn
and river
. He almost seemed relieved to show the ![]()
and rake the pot. He's still a little under starting stack for the day, but moving in the right direction
