Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Once again, its nearly all Brits near the top of the leaderboard with the one exception being that chip leader "incepatoryo" waving the Romanian flag.

Just before the blinds went up, Vivian "vivi.888." Saliba re-entered after he {k-}{j-} couldn't outrace an opponent's {9-}{9-}

A player opened to 8,000 from the hijack and "Likutu" called from the cutoff. Dominik "888Dominik" Nitsche three-bet jammed to 18,326. The opening player called before they folded after "Likutu" jammed for heaps.

Dominik "888Dominik" Nitsche: {k-Clubs}{q-Hearts}
"Likutu": {6-Clubs}{6-Spades}

It wasn't looking good for Nitsche after the {7-Spades}{a-Spades}{7-Hearts} came on the flop. The {10-Hearts} didn't help Nitsche on the turn but the {a-Hearts} double-paired the board on the river and Nitsche's king-kicker won the hand.
