Around 80,000 is already in the middle on a board of . According to tablemate Cody Raymond, Vasilios Gerontak had raised to 6,000 in early position, Zaid Attar called in middle position, and Rami Hammoud three-bet to 21,000 in the hijack. Antoine Chalhou called in the small blind, as did Gerontak and Attar.

Gerontak then bets 50,000 on the turn and Attar calls. Hammoud folds and Chalhou also calls to see the river.

Chalhou then bets 60,000 and Gerontak folds. Attar, though, tanks for a minute before calling for his last chips.

Chalhou shows for a rivered flush and Attar sends his cards into the muck on his way to the exit.

“I had two tens. What a joke, what a joke,” Gerontak says, claiming he folded a set.
