Oswin Ziegelbecker opened to 450,000 with the A♦Q♣7♠7♥ and Dorel Eldabach called with the A♣8♣6♠3♠.

Ali Balci then three-bet small to 1,000,000 with the K♠J♣10♠7♣ to force areluctant call by Ziegelbecker.

"Yessss, you like to gamble my friend..." Eldabach grinned and called.

The 6♦5♠2♣ flop was checked and Balci also checked the 4♣ turn. Eldabach bet 1,100,000 for his opponent to call.

After the J♥ river, Balci checked once more and Eldabach fired a bigger bet of 1,900,000.

Eldabach was all smilesand bumped fists with Oswin Ziegelbecker.

Dorel Eldabach raised to 500,000 under the gun with A♣9♥9♦8♣ and Ali Balci called on the button with J♠J♥9♠2♥.

Sebastian Langrock, in the small blind, looked down at K♠K♦8♥6♠ and gave it some thought before ultimately mucking as Eldabach and Balci went heads-up.

The flop came K♥7♣7♥ and Langrock smiled and looked up at the sky as he would've flopped a full house. Eldabach led out for 400,000 and Balci called.

Eldabach bet another 320,000 on the A♠ turn after making two pair and Balci quickly called. Eldabach slowed down and checked the 10♣ river.

Balci paused for about a minute before tapping the felt as Eldabach took the pot.

Dorel Eldabach raised to 400,000 under the gun and Samuel Albeck called in the cutoff.

The flop came A♥8♠2♥ and Eldabach checked to Albeck who bet 500,000. Eldabach called and the 10♠ fell on the turn.
