Fryda Shoves Out Rotshtein

Level 7 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Four players, including Itzhak Rotshtein in the hijack and Victor Fryda in middle position, saw a flop of {q-Spades}{6-Hearts}{5-Hearts}. Action folded around to Rotshtein who bet 10,000, and only Fryda called.

The turn came the {9-Clubs} and Fryda checked over to Rotshtein, who continued for another 25,000. Fryda this time moved his entire stack in the middle, a bet of around 80,000.

Rotshtein, leaning over the table getting a massage, sat up and peered over at Fryda while he tanked for around a minute. He eventually slid his cards into the muck as Fryda took down the pot.
