Wilczynski Makes Wilmsmann Fold

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Jona Wilmsmann raised to 10,500 from mid-position and was called by Michal Wilczynski in the hijack while the rest of the table folded.

The flop came {4-Spades}{10-Clubs}{2-Hearts}, Wilmsmann continued with a bet of 11,000 and Wilczynski called again.

The turn was the {3-Clubs}, now Wilmsmann barreled a bet of 17,000 over the line. Wilczynski tanked and then decided to make the call.

The river completed the board with the {q-Diamonds}, Wilmsmann slowed down and decided to check. Wilczynski took some time and then bet 60,000. Wilmsmann considered his options, threw out some question but got no reply nor any physical response and then decided to fold.
