Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Andreas Frohli opened to 1,200 from middle position before Maximilian Schindler potted to 4,400 from the hijack. In the small blind, Jeff Madsen cold-called. In the big blind, Naoya Kihara repotted to 18,800. Frohli folded, Schindler was all-in for 26,000, Madsen was all-in for 33,500, and Kihara called to put both players at risk.

Maximilian Schindler: A♣8♣7♠3♦ All in
Jeff Madsen: A♦5♠4♦3♠ All in
Naoya Kihara: K♠K♥7♣4♠

The players stood over the table as the J♣6♠3♣ flop gave Schindler the nut flush draw, while Madsen picked up an open-ender and the best low draw. The 7♥ turn completed Madsen's straight, and the 2♦ river was further improvement to nut-nut, and he scooped to collect a huge one.
