Kamutzki checked the river and Musumeci placed a small 1,025 bet across the line. Kamutzki wouldn't take the bait and he folded, leaving Musumeci to claim the pot.

Graner then check-called a bet of 1,525 on the turn before both players checked the river. Mizrachi tabled the for two pair, but Graner held a better two pair with the .
