"Jacob Schindler" check-raised to 14,583 and Felipe quickly shoved 95,940. "Jacob Schindler" snapped for the same amount and the two tabled their cards.

"Jacob Schindler": {q-Spades}{9-Spades}
Luan "Pseudo Fruto" Felipe: {k-Hearts}{9-Hearts}

Felipe was ahead with his flopped straight but had some cards he needed to dodge. A {4-Hearts} turn and {7-Clubs} river were of no concern for Felipe as he took down the pot, sending the first bounty of the tournament his way.
