: 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Craig Sweden raised it up to 60,000 from early position and Daniel Hopkins pushed all in for 315,000 from one seat over. [Removed:208] in the big blind flat-called and Sweden reluctantly folded.
"Please let it be a good fold," Sweden said before the cards were tabled.
Daniel Hopkins: 
[Removed:208]: 
"That's a pretty good fold," Sweden added. The flop came 
and Sweden muttered "please no king or queen," and sure enough the 
fell on the turn. Hopkins was left drawing dead, and the 
river a mere formality.

Soon after the last 18 players were balanced over two tables, a three-bet pot emerged between [Removed:208] in the big blind and Daniel Hopkins. The flop showed

river was a blank to let Dacic double.
