Carl Probsting
Carl Probsting

With roughly 100,000 in the pot on a {j-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{4-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{3-Hearts} completed board, Harry Lodge was in the small blind and was facing an all-in bet by Carl Probsting in the big blind for 114,000. Lodge got a count and used a time extension before he ultimately called.

Probsting could only show {10-Clubs}{8-Clubs}, while Lodge tabled {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} to take the pot with his king kicker as the table reacted in astonishment at the tough call, and Probsting made his exit.

Harry Lodge opened to 13,000 from middle position, Carl Probsting flatted the hijack, and David Docherty three-bet to 55,000 in the cutoff. Action folded back to Lodge who called, and Probsting also called.

In a heads-up pot between the blinds on a flop of {q-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{j-Spades}, Ole Schemion checked and Ludovic Geilich bet 18,000. Schemion check-raised to 41,000 and Geilich three-bet jammed a stack of 101,000. Schemion snap-called with a larger stack.

Ludovic Geilich: {a-Spades}{j-Hearts}
Ole Schemion: {q-Hearts}{8-Spades}

Geilich had a pair of jacks but was behind the pair of queens of Schemion. But Geilich improved as the board ran out {5-Hearts}{a-Hearts} to give him aces up and he earned a double through the Day 1b chip leader.

Carl Probsting opened in middle position and Nils Pudel three-bet to 44,000 on the button. Action folded back to Probsting who four-bet to 154,000, and Pudel responded with a five-bet jam for 650,000. Probsting quickly called.

Nils Pudel: {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}
Carl Probsting: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}

It was the classic aces-versus-kings cooler as the board ran out {j-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} to keep the rockets in front, and Pudel claimed the largest pot of the tournament so far as he soared to the top of the leaderboard.

Taylor Busts, Czuczor Climbs

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Marton Czuczor opened 13,000 from middle position and the action folded around to Guy Taylor in the small blind who reraised all in for his remaining 77,000 chips. Czuczor wasted no time calling and the hands were on their backs.

Guy Taylor: {j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}
Marton Czuczor: {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts}

Taylor was the player at risk and the {2-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{4-Hearts} flop left Taylor drawing very thin.

The {7-Spades} fell on the turn and cemented Taylors' exit before the {3-Clubs} river.
