Schemion Applies Pressure While Vogelsang Gets Rubbed the Wrong Way

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Tom Vogelsang raised from middle position and called when Ole Schemion three-bet to 4,500 from the hijack.

Both players were getting a massage (not from the same masseuse). Vogelsang was getting his head seen to, while Schemion’s therapist was working the neck.

Vogelsang check-called for 2,100 on the 10109 flop, but when Schemion applied more pressure with a 6,700 bet on the 7 turn, Vogelsang decided he’d had enough tension for one hand and folded.
