Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Espen Jorstad had four-bet to roughly 13,400 from the hijack over a cutoff three-bet. His opponent called, and they headed to the flop.

On the 10♦Q♦5♠ flop, Jorstad thought for a few moments before he elected to move all in. Jorstad had the covering stack, so the bet was for his opponent's remaining 45,000. This sent the cutoff player deep into the tank, thinking for roughly two minutes. In the end, he threw his cards into the muck and forfeited the pot to Jorstad.
