Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

With around 20,000 in the pot on a board of 9♣7♣8♠10♠, Edward Mehnert checked from middle position before his opponent overbet to 40,000. Mehnert mulled it over before making the call with roughly 10,000 behind.

Both players checked the 3♦ river, and Mehnert tabled 10♣6♣ for a straight to win the pot.
