Vivien Nagy is on a run, she first eliminated Martin Schmidkunz with on the board. Schmidkunz held which wasn't good enough against the flush Nagy had turned.
The hand right after that, Tiziano Di Romualdo had raised to 700 from the hijack and was called by Tim Gerritzen in the cutoff. Markus Sturz three-bet to 4,000 from the button and Nagy responded with a four-bet to 10,000. Di Romualdo tanked, glancing at everyone's stack, smiling, and tanking a bit longer. He then shrugged and folded. Gerritzen did the same before Sturz hesitantly made the call.
The flop came , Nagy checked quickly and Sturz shoved. Nagy also announced all-in even though she had Sturz covered and then waited for Sturz to open his cards first. Sturz showed and then Nagy finally opened her hand which was for the flopped set of jacks.
The rest of the board was completed with the on the turn and the on the river. Sturz got up and Nagy quietly stacked up even more chips while the rest of the table looked on in amazement.
