Messina and Schillhabel Clash
Level 29
: 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante
Antonin Duda opened to 165,000 from the cutoff and Stefan Schillhabel three-bet to 385,000 from one seat over. The action reached Valentin Messina and he four-bet to 595,000 out of the big blind, which was only called by Schillhabel.
On a flop of 
, Messina continued for 625,000 and was called before the 
turn triggered a check from both players. The dealer then burned and turned the 
river and Messina grabbed chips.
The Frenchman made it 950,000 to go, just under one-third of the pot. Schillhabel folded the hands behind his cap and stared at the board. Some time passed by before the German mucked his cards and the French rail started clapping.
