Michael Kanaan, not to me mistaken for this fine gentleman, was just seen thinking for some time on a board. His opponent Gordon Huntly was all in for 9,850.
Kanaan eventually called but would soon find out he was drawing dead. His had no way of improving enough, as Huntly had for a flush. The -river was there just for good measures, and Huntly doubled up.
On the flop Artur Koren called a bet of 1,700 by his table neighbor and then bet the turn for 2,300 after it was checked to him. The river gets checked through and the German tabled as the winning hand. His opponent asked, "Should I have bet the river?" Koren replied with, "You probably should have. I was a little confused by your flop bet."

On another table we saw the double up of Artur Koren to 13,000 with the preflop against pocket tens. The board was not a threat for the German, but he is still short.
The floor had been called and as we reached the table the situation was being explained. The pot was 7,500 and the board was showing .
There was a blue T5000 chip in front of one player who had said “Five” as he threw it in. Artem Litvinov was the man facing the bet and he desperately wanted it to be ruled a bet of 500 and not 5,000. The floor ruled that it would stand as a bet of 5,000.
Litvinov did not immediately fold however and he was now the centre of attention, trying to get some information from his opponent, talking him through what he might have and if maybe he had the best hand.
Litvinov then declared that he would flip a coin to decide whether to call or not. The player to his left reached into his pocket but had only notes. Then his opponent in the hand offered to give him a coin, bit that was plainly unacceptable to Litvinov. Eventually another player threw him a coin and called the clock at the same time.
The floor was still at the table and gave Litvinov a one minute countdown as the whole spectacle had been going on for several minutes. Litvinov tossed the coin, looked disappointed with the result and put the chip in to make the call.
“You win.” said his opponent who turned over . Litvinov’s was the best hand after all and the pot was pushed his way.
