Ivan Luca opened the action with a raise to 230,000 from early position and saw Martijn Gerrits three-bet in the next seat to 700,000. Benjamin Pollak was next to act and thought for a couple of minutes before he cold four-bet to 1.35 million. The action folded back around to Luca, and he quickly folded, which meant Gerrits had a big decision to make.
Gerrits gave himself a minute to think before he moved all in for 2.74M and Pollak called.
