Level 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Zdenek Zizka opened to 20,000 in the hijack. Bruno Fuentes upped the ante to 60,000 in the cutoff, which Joachim Meisolle quickly called in the big blind. Zizka moved out of the way for the 8♣A♦4♦ flop to be fanned.

Fuentes continued for 30,000. Meisolle instantly check-called, after which both players checked the J♣ turn.

Meisolle then took the initiative on the 6♥ river with a bet of 50,000, forcing a fold from Fuentes and winning the pot.
