No Call for Alt

Level 3 : 1,600/3,200, 400 ante

In the last hand of the previous level it was Pieter "XMorphineX" Aerts that raised the button to 7,000 and was called by Dinesh "nastyMinder" Alt in the small blind and Daris "DEX888" Pedes in the big blind. The trio checked the {j-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{9-Hearts} flop and Alt check-raised a bet of 9,800 by Aerts on the {8-Hearts} turn, making it 28,462 to go. Pedes got out of the way and Aerts called.

The {3-Clubs} appeared on the river and Alt jammed for 74,358 into a pot of 80,724, which sent Aerts into the think tank and resulted in a reluctant fold.
