In a limped pot between Patrick Papanek and Abdullah Akbarpoor in the blinds, things escalated quickly after the flop.

Papanek checks the Diamond ADiamond 3Spade 2 reveal to see Akbarpoor bet a sizable 3,000. Papanek then raises to 10,100 which Akabarpoor calls.

The turn brings the Club 10 and Papanek fires 13,300 which Akbarpoor again calls.

On the Heart 5 river, Papanek now checks and is disappointed to see his opponent check back as Papnek reveals Spade 5Heart 4 for a flopped wheel that couldn’t get an expected check-raise in on the river for even more value.

Patrik Papanek – 86,000 (107 bb)
Abdullah Akbarpoor – 31,000 (38 bb)
