After an open to 85,000 by Farid Jattin, next to act, Youness Barakat three-bet to 290,000.

The 4♣9♥K♣Q♣5♦ board was dealt in full when small blind Andrew Ige put Noah Schwartz in the big blind all-in for his last 115,000.

Dirk Gerritse limped in as first to act. Alex Foxen came along on the button before Richard Gryko raised to 125,000 in the small blind. Gerritse called, while Foxen got out of the way.
