Level 29 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Jan-Eric Schwippert opened to 300,000 from the button and Berthold Winz called from the small blind.

Both players checked the 8♣J♦5♦ flop leading to the 5♣ turn. Winz bet 350,000 and Schwippert called.

Winz fired a 600,000 bet on the 6♦ river. Schwippert moved all in for 1,365,000 and Winz called with a covering stack.

Winz had made a flush on the river with 4♦3♦ but it was no good against Schwippert's J♥J♠ for a full house. Schwippert dragged in a significant double up while making a small dent in Winz' stack.

Berthold Winz: J♦9♦

Ryan Lashmar

Level 28 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Rodrigo Cardoso opened to 160,000 from middle position and Hugues Girard three-bet to 425,000 from the hijack. Cardoso put in a four-bet to 780,000, Girard five-bet shoved with a covering stack and Cardoso, who had started the hand with 1,750,000, nearly beat him into the pot.

Hugues Girard: A♣Q♠ All in
Rodrigo Cardoso: K♦K♥

Cardoso was in great shape to double up until the A♥10♥9♦ flop gave Girard top pair leaving Cardoso drawing to just two outs. No kings materialized when the rest of the board ran out 4♦7♥ and Girard dragged in a massive double up while Cardoso was left with just over four big blinds.
