The community cards made a straight without any assistance from either set of hole cards, and they chopped the pot.
Flop:
- Chris checked, and Nico bet 38,500. After more than two minutes of completely stone-faced contemplation, Dombrowski called.Turn:
- Dombrowski checked again, and Behling bet 125,000, leaving himself 105,000 behind. Dombrowski went even deeper into the tank. A regular Internet player, Chris is used to making decisions in less than 30 seconds while playing 15 tables, but something about live play changes the thinking process for many online players. After over three minutes, someone at the table called the clock. Dombrowski let it tick down to six seconds before giving up his cards. He was down to 165,00 after the hand.

Leu:
Holz's tens held and he won the race to eliminate Leu as the board ran out
to give him a full house. That pot put him up to 495,000 chips.Holz is a German player who's had some recent success in 2009 on his home turf. In May, he won two events at the Hamburg Poker Masters. The first was worth €12,285 and the second worth €61,824. A few months later in November, Holz topped the €2,000 No-Limit Hold'em event at the German Poker Championships in Hamburg for €80,000. Those are the only three cashes we can find for Holz on record and they're all wins. If he stays true to form, he'll win this one and keep his cashes nothing but first-place finishes.

, Jude Ainsworth started counting out stacks of red 1,000-denomination chips by way of a bet. "I don't mind yellow chips," said William Thorson, his opponent in the hand. So Ainsworth bet some yellow chips too. Thorson went all in for around 200,000, Ainsworth called, and they flipped their cards.
