Alberto Stegeman
Alberto Stegeman

Alberto Stegeman made it 12,000 to go from the hijack and his neighbor Stefan Wolzak three-bet to 36,000. This forced out everyone but Stegeman who made it 100,000 even. Wolzak thought about it for a bit before he called.

The flop of {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} saw Stegeman bet 80,000. Wolzak cut off 20,000 from his 5,000-tower and called.

The {Q-Diamonds} hit the turn and Stegeman bet 100,000 with 84,000 behind. Wolzak checked his cards once more, and eventually folded. Stegeman showed {A-Clubs}{K-Spades} and raked in the massive pot.
