We caught up on a completed board reading . Fernando Suaya had a large stack of green chips in front of him from the big blind, which was a bet large enough to put Harald Olsen all in.

Suaya then tabled for a bluff and Olsen flipped over for just a pair of treys, which was good enough to scoop the pot. Many of Olsen's tablemates congratulated him on his good call.
Olsen is now up to 250,000, while Suaya is sitting on 740,000.
