Level 14
: 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Linus Loeliger moved all in for 212,000 in the cutoff and Stanley Choi moved all in over the top for 240,000 on the button. Benjamin Pollak squeezed both his cards in the big blind and snap-called.
Linus Loeliger: 
Stanley Choi: 
Benjamin Pollak: 
The 
flop brought no help for Loeliger and Choi yet, but Loeliger picked up a massive sweat on the 
turn. The 
on the river failed to improve both Loeliger and Choi, and the bubble burst without any hand-for-hand play needed, while Pollak continued his hot run to take a commanding lead.
All remaining nine players will now redraw to the unofficial final table.
