Action folded to Alejandro Belluccia on the button and he opened for 20,000. Dermot Blain flatted in the small blind, and then Jacek Markowski opted for a three-bet to 77,000 from the big. Belluccia made the call and then Blain announced that he was all in for 241,000.
Markowski thought for a few moments before making the call, and then Belluccia released his hand.
