Tim Baker

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Niklas Astedt limped from the small blind and Manuel Fritz checked out of the big blind.

The two players checked the 5♠3♥A♥ flop to see the 9♠ come on the turn. Astedt bet 75,000 and Fritz called.

When the dealer put down the 9♣ on the river, Astedt bet 125,000. Fritz burned through one of his time-bank cards before making the call.

Astedt flipped over A♠6♦ for top pair on the flop and Fritz mucked.

Coelho needed some help from the board, but none arrived on the 8♣7♦5♠3♦9♥ runout, Fritz's ace-high good enough for the pot.

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

Diogo Coelho raised to 50,000 from the cutoff and Sebastian Malec three-bet to 175,000 out of the small blind. Coelho opted to four-bet to 575,000, and after a few moments, Malec five-bet to 1,300,000 with just 20,000 behind. Coelho jammed and Malec snap-called.

Sebastian Malec : A♠A♣ All in
Diogo Coelho : K♥K♣

It was a brutal cooler that Malec was on the right end of. The dealer fanned out the flop of A♦K♠9♦ to give both players a set. Coelho couldn't find the last king in the deck as the rest of the board ran out 4♠9♣, and he had to send the majority of his stack over to Malec.
