Five Cards is Not Enough

In the last hand of the 3k/6k level, Karel Kratochvil made an opening raise to 12,000 and picked up a call from Laurens De Smet before Dmitry Varlamov made a chunky reraise. Kratochvil went all in, a wide-eyed De Smet folded, and Varlamov called.

Bit of a disappointment, really.

Kratochvil: :::Ah :::Kh
Varlamov: :::Ac :::Kc

Board: :::4d :::6c :::2h :::7h :::2d

Despite TD John Scanlon urging the dealer to put a sixth card on the board, it was a simple chop and both players got their own chips back, plus a couple blinds, antes and half of De Smet’s call.
