Simon Lofberg: K♥5♣ All in
Lev Margolin: A♣J♠

Lofberg found a pair on the K♦9♣6♦ flop, then rivered two pair on the 8♣5♦ runout, which kept him alive, and left Margolin in the danger zone.

Kai Cocklin

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Stoyan Madanzhiev raised from early position to 50,000 and Hannes Jeschka shoved from the cutoff for 325,000. When it got back to Madanzhiev, he called.

Hannes Jeschka: 9♥9♦ All in
Stoyan Madanzhiev: A♠K♣

Jeschka was at risk and needed to win a flip in order to stay alive. The Austrian player surely breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the 9♠ in the window, but seeing the 8♠5♠ that followed probably didn't help the nerves, as Madazhiev picked up a flush draw. A 4♥ on the was safe, but the 2♠ river gave Madanzhiev a flush, eliminating Jeschka.
