Level 5
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Mario Scalia raised to 1,700 under the gun and was called by Rene Knapp on the button, as well as Jeannette Mendez and Martin Vittek in the blinds.
Scalia bet 1,700 on the J♥10♥7♠ flop and Knapp and Mendez called, while Vittek got out of the way.
The turn was the 5♣ and Mendez led out for 3,500. Scalia folded, but Knapp called to see the 4♥ river. Mendez then bet 5,500, but this time Knapp raised to 21,000. Mendez quickly folded.
