With only four players at the table, Andreas Wittig limped the hijack before Nikola Milivojevic made it 800 from the button. Wittig called to see the dealer spread out the 10♦3♣4♦ flop.
Wittig opted to lead out for 800, and Milivojevic stuck around with a call.
A 9♠ rolled off on the turn and Wittig led out for a second time, choosing the amount of 1,600. This was enough to get Milivojevic to fold, and Wittig pulled in the pot.
