We found Hal Lubarsky putting out a bet preflop, only to be raised by the player immediately on his left. Lubarsky made the call and both players saw on the flop. Lubarsky checked and his opponent, Steven Hustoft bet out. Lubarsky called, and both players got to see a turn.
With the on fourth street Lubarsky again check-called a bet from Hustoft. After the spiked on the river we saw a repeat of action with Lubarsky check-calling another bet. Cards were then shown, and it was Lubarsky's pair of tens that was awarded the pot after Hustoft was only able to manage for ace high.
Ivo Donev and Alexander Dovzhenko just played a hand where they five bet capped every street but the river. The board read and when it was all said and done Donev tabled the two red aces and Dovzhenko tabled the two black ones.
They chopped the pot, shook hands and complimented each other on how well they played their hands.
