Following a middle position raise to 800 from Raik Bernhardt, Richard Heveli three-bets to 2,800 from the hijack.

In the big blind, Ivan Deney four-bets to 8,500 which gets a fold from Bernhardt.

Heveli doesn’t fold though. Instead, he five-bets to 17,500 which sends his fellow big stack at Table 4 Deney into the tank.

Eventually, Deney opts to lay down his hand and send the healthy pot to Heveli without seeing a flop.

Richard Heveli – 87,000 (217 bb)
Ivan Deney – 73,000 (182 bb)
Raik Bernhardt – 29,000 (72 bb)
