Level 7 : 400/800, 100 ante

Robin Hegele came up a few days short of a dream run in 2017 when he finished 27th in the WSOP Main Event.

Hegel returned for Day 2 with 39,000 and did lose about half of his stack before getting some back in a recent pot.

With about 8,000 in the middle and a three-way board reading , the player in the big blind bet 5,000 and Hegele shoved for 15,500. The player on the button went into the tank and eventually folded when once again, the clock was needed for this player.

The player in the big blind would fold as well and Hegele was pushed the pot.
