Jun Obara raised from middle position to 1,500 and Axel Hallay called from the hijack. Aleksandar Tomovic then made it 6,500 to go from the big blind. Obara and Hallay both put in the calling chips, and it was three players to the flop.

That flop fell and Tomovic led out for 6,500 chips. Obara called and Hallay got out of the way. The turn saw another bet by Tomovic, this time for 7,000. Again, Obara called rather quickly.

The river was the and this time Tomovic slowed down and checked. Obara did not have to think long before in he put a stack of T-5000 chips, effectively putting Tomovic all in for around 18,500.

Tomovic reached the end of his shot clock and tossed in a time bank extension. He did not need much of it, however, as he put in the call not five seconds later.

Obara showed that he had rivered two pair with . Tomovic frustratingly showed his that was good until the river. He tossed the cards face-up in the middle and took his leave.
