Pete Chen:
The flop left Pettersson on thin ice and he needed running cards to a straight or flush. It was all over on the turn and the meaningless river completed the board.

Silviu Baltaneanu opened to 25,000 from under the gun and was called by Or Nezer, Fausto Tantillio and Luuk Gieles in the big blind.

Both Gieles and Baltaneanu checked again. Nezer jammed for 275,000 and was only called by Gieles.
Luuk Gieles:
Or Nezer:
