Just now at that table, the board read 
and there was about 4,000 in the middle already. Yosuke Takagi in mid-position had checked. Scott Stewart was sitting in the cutoff and bet 3,750. Takagi considered for a while but ended up folding.
A hand later, Stewart limped from the hijack and Mark Kroon raised to 650 in the big blind. Stewart called. When Kroon continued with a bet on the flop, Stewart folded immediately.
