Frank Visser

Level 7 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Juha Helppi made it 11,000 in the hijack, receiving calls from Fabian Riebau-Schmithals on the button, and Isaac Haxton and Oliver Weis in the blinds.

It checked to Riebau-Schmithals on the 4♦J♥7♦ flop, who placed a continuation-bet of 24,000. Haxton quickly folded, but the remaining two opponents called.

The K♣ turn was then dealt, and again the action checked to Riebau-Schmithals. He sized up to 90,000, which was enough to take the pot as Weis and Helppi both mucked their cards.
