Niveau 7
: 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
With the board reading 
, it was just the two blinds left in the hand. There was around 39,000 in the middle already and Kevin Martin checked from the small blind. Michael Monroig tossed in a bet of 21,000 from the big blind and Martin called.
The 
paired the board on the river and Martin checked again. Monroig checked it back and was cheering for a specific hand. "I hope you have eight-six of spades."
Martin tabled 
for a missed straight and flush draw but Monroig held 
for the same hand to chop the pot.
