In the last hand of level 17, Hendrik Latz opened to 11K from the cutoff, and found a call from Alexandru Baron on the button. The small blind folded, and David Graves 3-bet to 43K from the big blind. Hendrik placed a 4-bet to 103K, and this was quickly followed by the all-in of Alexandru for 96.5K. Without too much hesitation, David announced all-in over the top, covering both opponents. Hendrik, who started the hand with just under 350K, went into the tank for a few minutes. Eventually he shook his head and slammed some chips forward, and a massive 3-way pot was created.
