Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Josua Weiss raised it up to 4,000 from the cutoff and Benjamin Ector defended from his big blind.

Ector checked the flop, Weiss bet 4,000, Ector check-called and then led out on the turn for 5,000, which got a call from Weiss. Both players checked the river and then tabled their hands to reveal the same full house.
