![[user38873]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Nível 7
: 300/600, 100 ante
Manig Loeser raised to 1,500 and picked up two callers in Robert Heidorn on the button and Leo Nordin in the small blind. The 
flop was checked to Loeser, who continued for 2,500 and picked up two calls.
After the 
turn, it checked to Heidorn, who bet 8,000. Nordin called and Loeser in the hijack then check-raised to 21,500. Heidorn folded, but Nordin asked for the amount of the raise before tossing in the extra chips. The 
on the river saw a check by Nordin and the shove of Loeser.
Nordin asked for a count and the shove was for 31,600, which the Swede eventually called. Loeser rolled over 
for the nut straight, and Nordin mucked his cards.

Schemion Loses Kings to Aces
Nível 7
: 300/600, 100 ante
From middle position, Ole Schemion raised to 1,400. His neighbor Dmytro Shuvanov in the hijack called before Nicolas Pouzenc on the button squeezed all in for 9,400. Both blinds released and Schemion contemplated what to do for a bit. He asked how big a tower of 5,000-chips Shuvanov had, and asked how big the shove was.
Schemion eventually four-bet to 16,400 and Shuvanov immediately got out of the way.
Neither player revealed their cards instantly, but eventually we saw it was 
(Schemion) up against 
(Pouzenc). The board ran out 
and Schemion parted ways with a small portion of his chips.
