Similar Stack Collision
Level 28
: 40,000/80,000, 5,000 ante
Max Heinzelmann and Armin Mette both had the second-tier stacks (~2.5 million) at the start of this hand, but it's Armin Mette who knocked the one-time big stack down at the end.
Mette called an under the gun raise of 165,000 in position, and proved impossible to dislodge, flatting in position when Heinzelmann bet 240,000 on the flop and 485,000 on the turn.
The river saw Heinzelmann check when the fell, and after ascertaining that he had ever so slightly more (and around a pot-size bet left) Mette went all-in. Heinzelmann folded quickly.
