Check-Raise Takes It for Van Strydonck

Jerry Van Strydonck raised to 225,000 from middle position and was met with a three-bet to 460,000 from Pius Heinz on the button. Both blinds got out of the way, Van Strydonck called, and the flop came down {K-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}.

Van Strydonck was first and checked to Heinz, who bet 350,000. Van Strydonck responded with a check-raise to just 700,000. Heinz quickly released his hand, dropping to six million in the process.
