Benjamin Scholl was first into the pot on the button, and he raised it up to 150,000. Roland de Wolfe was in the small blind, and he sat still, considering his options for about a full minute. Eventually, he flat-called, and big blind Jonas Klausen ducked out.

The flop came down {4-Spades}

, and de Wolfe quickly moved all in for about 100,000. Scholl made the call.

Showdown
de Wolfe: {K-Spades}

Scholl:

Scholl's ace-high was in the lead, but de Wolfe had a flush draw and one live jack to play with. To his benefit, the {J-Clubs}

peeled off on the turn, improving him to the leading pair of jacks and leaving Scholl drawing dead to an offsuit ace. The river {Q-Clubs}

filled out the board, and Roland de Wolfe has doubled up back into contention with about 650,000. Scholl, meanwhile, has slipped into the danger zone under 200,000.
