On 4?10?K? Wisbrod continued for 23,000 chips. Yaroshevskyy responded with a raise to 55,000, and now it was Wisbrod's turn to call, which he did.
The K? rolled off and Wisbrod retook the aggression with a lead of 75,000. With all the chips thrown in the middle, Yaroshevskyy only had 120,000 behind and he risked all of them when went for the all-in. Wisbrod responded with a rapid call and there was a showdown.
