Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Action was caught when the dealer fanned a flop of 3♦10♦7♣ with around 5,000 chips in the pot. Two players had cards in front of them: Antonin Scalzi from the small blind, who checked, and the player on the button, who checked-back.

The Q♥ hit the turn, and Scalzi took 3,000 chips out of his stack to bet. He was called by the button.

When the 6♠ completed the board, Scalzi bet another 7,000, keeping just 13,000 chips behind. His opponent saw this short stack but just called. A second later, he gave his cards to the dealer, as Scalzi revealed 9♥8♦ for a straight.

When the turn rolled off J♥, Anderson put 24,000 out in front of him, leaving only 1,000 behind. Lo cocked his head at the flop before pitching his cards in the muck.
