Level 31 : 90,000/180,000, 22,500 ante

In a single-raised three-way pot, "WhatIfGod" bet 450,000 on a flop of {k-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{j-Hearts} and Benjamin "bencb789" Rolle folded, while Christian "WATnlos" Rudolph called from out of position.

Rudolph checked on the {9-Clubs} turn and called a bet of 1,800,000 from his opponent. Rudolph checked again on the {3-Hearts} river and "WhatIfGod" fired a big bet of 4,200,000. Rudolph went deep into his time bank and eventually called.

"WhatIfGod" showed {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts} for two pair and took down the pot as Rudolph mucked.
