Frank Visser

Level 12 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Three-way to a turn of 8♣J♥5♣10♥, Sean Rafael made a pot-sized bet of 135,000 from the small blind. Nick Schulman called in the cutoff before Shaun Deeb folded on the button.

The 10♦ river slowed Rafael down, as he checked over to Schulman. Schulman then moved all in for 275,000, causing Rafael to make a frustrated fold after spending some time banks.
