Three ways to the 10 ♣️ 5 ♣️ 4 ♦️ 8 ♦️ turn, Michael Diniega in the small blind bet 25,000. Alexander Allen then raised to 60,000 in the big blind and Joris Michl folded.

Diniega used three time banks before he called and led the 3 ♠️ river for 40,000. Allen was perplexed about the small sizing and asked to see the stack behind of his opponent before he called and showed his 4 ♣️ 4 ♠️ for a set.

Diniega mucked and asked "first set?"

"First set whole festival," Allen replied.

Player Chip Count
