Sturm Leaves Destruction in His Wake

First, Leon Sturm doubled up against Dmitrii Levin, going all-in preflop after some raising and three-bet action. Sturm held 10♦10♥, while Levin had A♣Q♦. The board nearly sent Sturm to the rail with the flop and turn revealing A♥4♥9♦J♣. However, luck was on Sturm's side with the 10♠ on the river, doubling him up to his remaining 5,700,000.

In the very next hand, Sturm opened with a raise on the button to 525,000, which was called by Samuel Kabelitz in the big blind.

Both players checked through the flop and turn, which showed 7♦7♥6♦K♥.

On the river Q♣, Kabelitz took his time before going all in with his remaining 2,450,000. Sturm asked for a count to buy some time to think, as he had only one time bank card left. In the end, he made the call and caught Kabelitz's bluff, who showed 9♠5♠. Sturm revealed Q♠9♦ for a pair of queens, boosting his stack to over 15,000,000 in just two hands.
