Level 4 : 300/500, 500 ante

Haris Hadziabdic raised to 1,000 on the button and was called by Dennis Phillips in the small blind and the player in the big blind.

Action checked to Hadziabdic on the {3-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{k-Spades} flop and he bet 1,100. Phillips then check-raised to 3,500 and it was folded back to Hadziabdic, who called.

Phillips continued for 5,500 on the {2-Clubs} turn and Hadziabdic called.

The {5-Diamonds} completed the board and Phillips bet 10,000. Hadziabdic called after a bit of thought.

"Nice call," Phillips said as he tabled {q-Spades}{10-Clubs} for a busted open-ended straight draw.

Hadziabdic tabled {k-Diamonds}{10-Spades} for top pair and he dragged the pot.
