Denys Shafikov had a decent stack not long ago but has since vanished with a massive pile of chips in front of Dennis Schienagel. The German was involved in yet another big pot now, having claimed the stack of Shafikov with several hands, and now battled with Enes Avdagic.
On the 
turn, Schienagel bet 4,600 and Avdagic called. The 
fell on the river and Schienagel jammed, Avdagic snap-called for 20,200. Schienagel reluctantly showed 
and Avdagic had 
for trips on the turn.
