turn was as far as the hand made it, with Karamalikis check-folding to a Suchanek 7,000 bet.

The 
flop saw both players check, with the 
turn bringing a check from Maroulis and bet of 3,000 from Otto, which was called.
The 
river brought four to a flush, and Maroulis checked it over to Otto, who checked it back.
"Have you got it?" quizzed Otto.
Maroulis flipped over 
to claim the pot with the nut flush.
A hand or so after, Jonathan Karamalikis made it 6,000 to go from the cutoff, only to see George Mitri aggressively defend his big blind with a shove.

There has been quite a bit of blind on blind action over on Jonathan Karamalikis' table, with the youngest inductee to the Australian Hall of Fame the beneficiary. Following a limp from Michael Hahn in the small blind, Karamalikis raised it up to 1,600 in the big blind to take the pot.
The next hand it was Karamalikis in the small blind, and he raised it up to 1,600 with Jan Suchanek making the call from the big blind. Karamalikis led out for 800 on the 
flop and that was enough to take the pot.
It was Suchanek's turn to get aggressive from the blinds the next hand, opening the action to 2,000 from the small blind the next hand, with Spiros Maroulis making the call from the big blind.
The flop came
