After a raise from the hijack seat to 2,500, Joe Bartholdi reraised to 7,000 on the button. Abdulaziz Almashal called from the big blind, then action went back over to the hijack seat. He four-bet and made it 22,500 to go. Bartholdi fired back with a reraise to 47,500, and Almashal folded. The hijack seat also folded, and Bartholdi won the pot.
