Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Kelvin Crawford called in the small blind and in the big blind, Scott Drobes raised to 1,500 which Crawford called.

Crawford checked the flop of 2♦5♥4♥ over to Drobes who bet 1,500 once more and Crawford called.

On the 10♥ turn, both players checked to the 2♠ river where Crawford bet 5,000. Drobes went into the tank, talking through his thought process, before eventually tossing the chips into call.

He revealed 5♣4♣ for fives and fours which Drobes said was good as he tossed his hand into the muck.
