Hartmann Chips Up Again

Level 4 : 175/350, 35 ante

The raise of Pascal Hartmann for 875 triggered a three-bet to 2,281 by Junichi "Jun@N" Nakanowatari and Hartmann then four-bet to 6,825, which earned a call. On the {j-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} flop, Hartmann continued right away for 3,614 and was called to then bet the {9-Spades} turn for 8,120 into 21,683.

That was enough to claim the pot without any further resistance, as Nakanowatari opted to fold.
