Elder raised to 250,000 and Heinzelmann three-bet again. Elder decided to take the same line and he just called the 660,000. The flop was and Heinzelmann again fired out a c-bet and it was for 735,000. No raise from Elder this time as he folded after a quick glance at the texture of the board.
We've seen only small pots for a while now, and the stacks remain basically unchanged. Mostly we've seen whichever player is on the button making an opening raise (Heinzelmann likes a 240,000 min-raise, while Elder favours a raise to 250,000) and the other calling.
One hand, raised by Heinzelmann, made it to the turn after both players checked the flop. The board read and Elder now bet out 350,000. Heinzelmann folded and that particular pot went to the Brit.
Elder picked up the next one as well, raising the button and then continuation-betting to a check from Heinzelmann on the flop, eliciting a fold from the German.
Heinzelmann picked up the next three pots though, first raising from the button and getting a fold, then getting a walk in the big blind next hand. The next hand made it as far as a flop, but no further - Elder called Heinzelmann's button raise, but then check-folded to Heinzelmann's 235,000 continuation bet on the flop.
