Blaschke Goes Aggressive

On the flop of 5♠ 6♦ 2♥ , there were around 13,000 chips in the middle when The Tien Nguyen from the small blind and Beibei Sun from the big blind checked the action to Hao Nguyen from under the gun, who then led out for 5,500. Manuel Blaschke put in a raise to 12,000 from the cutoff. Only Nguyen dropped in a call.
The 9♥ landed on the turn, where Nguyen checked the action to her opponent, and Blaschke fired out 9,500, which Nguyen made the call.
The river brought a 4♠ , and Nguyen checked over again. Blaschke fired out 16,000 this time, sending Nguyen into the tank. After a long time, Nguyen eventually mucked her hand.
