When we arrived Marvin Rettenmaier still had 2,500 in front of him, and so did Chamath Palihapitiya in the hijack position. From the button Yevgeniy Timoshenko had made it 8,200 to go and the small blind had made the call. Rettenmaier folded but Palihapitiya made the call. "Just put a queen up there" Palihapitiya laughed.

"Someone call the floor" the small blind laughed out loud, seeing that Palihapitiya had gotten what he had asked for. "Ask and they shall receive" Palihapitiya laughed. The small blind and Palihapitiya checked to Timoshenko who contemplated his options. "I'll make it simple for you, I'm gonna call" said Palihapitiya to Timoshenko. Timoshenko bet out 14,200 nonetheless and, as promised, Palihapitiya made the call after the small blind had folded. The turn brought the on the table and Palihapitiya checked again. Timoshenko bet 28,800 and this made Palihapitiya tank. After a little while he folded, leaving the pot to Timoshenko.
