Christian Zetzsche

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

On the river of a J♥10♣6♣2♣6♠ board, Hennie Appel checked and Nic Ioannoy bet 50,000. Appel reluctantly called and won the pot with the 8♠8♥, as Ioannoy only had the A♠5♣.

Ioannoy then raised to 75,000 and Divan Le Roux three-bet to 215,000 in the cutoff. It folded to Ronit Chamani and she four-bet jammed for 960,000, which she already neatly put out for the dealer to count.

Ioannoy folded after some consideration, Le Roux did so after using a time bank.

Chamani showed her A♠K♠ and explained that she had seen a red ace flash from Ioannoy.
