Small Pots Once Again

Level 27 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

Ulrich Pauls limped in from the small blind and Andrei Nodea raised to 200,000, Pauls called. Both checked through the board of {Q-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} and Pauls showed {10-Spades}{8-Hearts} as winning hand.

Behzad Zarnegar won a small pot without showdown against Jan Sigel and limped in from the small blind soon after, Michal Lubas checked. On the {J-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{9-Hearts} flop, Zarnegar checked and called a bet of 130,000 by Lubas. The {3-Hearts} turn and {8-Spades} river were checked and Zarnegar showed {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades}, which Lubas had beat with {J-Clubs}{5-Clubs}.

Rundström Doubles Through Lubas

Level 27 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

Bo Rundström shoved all in from the hijack for 370,000. Michal Lubas asked for a count and then called from the small blind. Ulrich Pauls confirmed the amount once more and then took a few seconds to think, but still folded in the end.

Bo Rundström: {K-Clubs}{J-Spades}
Michal Lubas: {8-Clubs}{8-Spades}

The board ran out {K-Hearts}{2-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} - Rundström was already good with the king on the flop but the jack on the turn made his hand even better to two pair, kings and jacks, and the double up.

Nodea Doubles Through Rundström

Level 27 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

Bo Rundström raised to 200,000 first to act and Andrei Nodea in the small blind gave it some thought. He took half a minute of consideration and moved all in, and Rundström quickly called.

Andrei Nodea: {A-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}
Bo Rundström: {K-Spades}{K-Diamonds}

The board came {A-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} and Nodea doubled for 1,115,000 one hand after Ulrich Pauls had held the very same aces to eliminate Marcin Horecki.

Lubas Shoves Into Pauls

Level 26 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

Ulrich Pauls made it 115,000 to go from under the gun and Jan Sigel called on the button, as did Michal Lubas in the big blind. The flop fell {5-Spades}{5-Hearts}{3-Hearts} and Lubas checked, while Pauls continued for 150,000. Sigel quickly folded and Lubas check-raised to 550,000. Pauls wasted only a few seconds before making the call in a battle of the chip leaders.

On the {K-Spades} turn, Lubas bet 900,000 and once again Pauls called after very brief consideration to see the {7-Spades} on the river. Lubas glanced at the stack of his opponent and Pauls moved forward his big chips before staring right at Lubas. Half a minute later, Lubas moved all in and Pauls gave it some thought before folding {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} face up.
