Oswin Ziegelbecker opened to 450,000 with the A♦Q♣7♠7♥ and Dorel Eldabach called with the A♣8♣6♠3♠.
Ali Balci then three-bet small to 1,000,000 with the K♠J♣10♠7♣ to force areluctant call by Ziegelbecker.
"Yessss, you like to gamble my friend..." Eldabach grinned and called.
The 6♦5♠2♣ flop was checked and Balci also checked the 4♣ turn. Eldabach bet 1,100,000 for his opponent to call.
After the J♥ river, Balci checked once more and Eldabach fired a bigger bet of 1,900,000.

Eldabach was all smilesand bumped fists with Oswin Ziegelbecker.
