Two Big Hands from Before the Break
In the closing minutes of Level 10, there were to big hands that took place. Have a look.
Hand #1: A short-stacked Timothy Adams moved all in for 96,000 under the gun and Mike Watson, who was seated to his direct left, made the call. The rest of the players folded and the cards were turned up.

It was a bad spot for Adams, but the flop gave him a lot of hope as he paired his ten and picked up a flush draw. Some in poker would say it was "too many outs" to hit, and indeed that proved the case as the blanked on the turn followed by the on the river. Adams, who took fourth in this very event last year for €485,100, was eliminated from the tournament.
Hand #2: Fabian Quoss opened from the button only to have Alec Torelli three-bet to 54,000 from the small blind. The big folded, Quoss moved all in for 312,000, and Torelli wasted little time in making the call.

It was a flip, and the proverbial coin came down in favor of Quoss after the board ran out a dry .
