Back and Forth for Avitan, Skampa

[user66118]

From the button, Jan Skampa limped in, and the blinds came along for the first family pot of this level. And it would be quite a pot.

The flop rolled out {10-Diamonds}

. First to speak, Eyal Avitan stuck out a bet of 200,000. Mattsson didn't waste any time calling, and neither did Skampa as we continued three-handed.

Fourth street came the {6-Hearts}

, and this time Avitan and Mattsson checked. Skampa deliberately counted out 435,000 and slid it forward. Avitan quickly matched the bet, and Mattsson finally had a hunch that he should get out of this pot.

The last card off was the {4-Spades}

, and Avitan passed again. Skampa, robot-like, pulled 950,000 chips down from his pyramid and moved them in with both hands. After a pause to think it over, Avitan called to put a pot of 3.625 million up for grabs!

Skampa was first to show, and he couldn't show much; he knew he was beaten when he tabled {8-Hearts}
