Florian Duta saw an opportunity out of the small blind and three-bet pot to 72,500. All three of his opponents would eventually make the call.
All three.
A flop fanned out and all of the chips went in the middle. Firstly, Duta said it was good enough and put the rest of his stack in. Maryška then raised pot which covered everyone else and Schneider and O'Donnell both put themselves at risk as well.
It took a few moments for the side pots to be arranged to give the rest of the players in the event ample time to surround the table.
The word 'sick' was used by just about everyone in the room.
