Pia Fransson limped the 1,000 Big Blind from the Lo-jack. Dominik Wochnik joined the limp train from the Cut-off, before Mark McKenzie made it 5,000 on the Button. Fransson and Wochnik both made the call.

It was Fransson who donk-bet 5,000 on the 4♦9♦J♦ flop. Wochnik folded before McKenzie made the call. Fransson slowed down and checked the A♥ turn, and then called 20,000 from McKenzie. Both players checked the 7♦ river.

“Aah,” McKenzie sighed (albeit with a cheeky smile) as Fransson tabled Q♦Q♣. The pot belonged to Fransson, who potentially could have one of the biggest stacks at this point.

Pina Fransson: 208,000
Mark McKenzie: 55,000
