Hesse Makes Up for Lost Time

Level 30 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

After missing the first hand of the day, Stephen Hesse quickly got involved in Day 7 just a couple of hands later. Hesse raised to 400,000 in early position and was called by Kohei Arai in the big blind.

The flop came 965 and Arai led out with a bet of 300,000. Hesse eyed up his opponent's stack and then raised to 1,100,000. Arai thought for a minute and then sent his cards into the muck.
