Belgium's Koen De Visscher opened the betting form the button and Jannick Wrang made the call. The pair shared a flop reading and Wrang tapped the table and checked. De Visscher continued with a bet of 110,000 and after much deliberation Wrang made the call.
The turn was the and Wrang checked again. De Visscher kept to his story and fired a second barrel worth 240,000 and again Wrang called and we saw the land on the river, a card that completed a who host of possible draws. Wrang now lead for 730,000, around half of what De Visscher has behind, the perfect amount. De Visscher obviously believes his opponent has hit and he folds his hand.
The Dane is unstoppable right now.
Olivier Busquet raised to 100,000 and Koen De Visscher three-bet to 230,000 but then Jannick Wrang came in over the top with a four-bet to 405,000, looking as though he was committed to calling a shove from his Belgian opponent. Busquet got out of the way and De Visscher looked incredibly sad and elected to fold, the latter really has an awkward stack at this moment.

Despite being the aggressor preflop, Wrang checked to Busquet who wasted no time at all in betting just 175,000, which was smaller than Wrang's preflop three-bet, but it was enough to win the pot.
