. Skampa kept the pressure on with a continuing bet of 400,000. Avitan shot a long glance over to his right. First up at Skampa, then down at his chips, then back up to meet eyes again."How much you play total?" he asked. Skampa quickly eyeballed his stack and responded, and Avitan promptly made a raise to 1.1 million. Skampa's cards hit the muck in short order, and Avitan seems to have his number for the time being.

Flop:
Avitan checked and Mattsson put in a 240,000 bet - but Avitan unexpectedly raised to 875,000, and Mattsson passed.
Skampa check-called 425,000 on the
flop before both players checked the 
turn. Come the 
turn, Skampa bet out 650,000 - and to hearty applause from the largely Czech rail, Avitan folded.
Skampa raised to 240,000 on the button and Eyal Avitan called out of the small blind; Stefan Mattsson called in the big blind too and they saw an
flop, which all three players checked.They saw a
turn and Avitan checked again. This time Mattsson bet 480,000. Both his opponents quickly lost interest, and Mattsson took it down.
