Level 3 : 100/200, 200 ante

Olsen Takes a Little From Tureniec

Level 4 : 100/300, 300 ante

James Olsen raised it to 1,000 from the button and Michael Tureniec defended his big blind.

After both players checked through to the turn on a board reading {6-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{j-Spades}{3-Clubs}, Tureniec led out for 1,500 and Olsen made the call. Tureniec then bet 3,000 on the {9-Clubs} river and was again called by Olsen. Tureniec tabled {4-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} for the missed straight draw and Olsen tabled {k-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} and took down the pot, which put a small dent in Tureniec's sizable chipstack.
