Ozman Snaps off Valkenburg

Paul Valkenburg had already lost some chips early on while the opposite applied to the very active David Ozman from Sweden. The latter was in the big blind just now and got involved in a three-way pot with Valkenburg and another player to invest 1,200 each on the :::Jd{10c}:::6h flop.

On the :::2h turn, Ozman then fired 4,550 for almost pot-size and just Valkenburg made the call to see the :::3d appear on the river. Ozman checked and Valkenburg made a steal attempt with a bet of 4,600 to get snap-called in a matter of seconds by his opponent. The Dutchman mucked instantly and Ozman flashed the :::Jc{10h} for top two.

"That was the only way to get paid, by checking," Ozman added and Valkrnburg replied with a dry "I only had draws."
