Jonathan Aghai raised to 4,600 from the cutoff and found a call from a smiling Ole Schemion in the big blind. The flop came down 
and Schemion led into the raiser for 6,000. Aghai stuck around and the two took a turn.
The dealer produced the on fourth street and Schemion continued his aggression for 15,000. Aghai thought for about a minute before folding 
face up. Schemion did not show his cards as he dragged in a pot that brought his stack to 240,000.
