: 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Monica Vaka raised it up to 3,500 in middle position and Luigi Knoppers called from the big blind. The flop fell 
and Knoppers check-called a bet of 4,000 from Vaka.
The turn was the 
and both players checked to the 
on the river. Knoppers dropped in a small bet of 6,000 and Vaka countered with a small raise to 16,000. Knoppers called and Vaka showed 
for just ace-high. Knoppers held
