Volkmann Puts Schwecht to the Test

Cottrell van Wingerden

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Bruno Volkmann opened to 70,000 on the button and was called by Tobias Schwecht in the big blind.

Schwecht checked following the 2?J?3? flop and then raised to 85,000 after Volkmann continued for 35,000. Volkmann made the call to send the action to the turn.

Both players checked through the J? turn to the 5? river at which point Schwecht checked again. Volkmann responded by moving all in and was met by a snap-fold from Schwecht, who was left as the tournament short stack.
