Level 34 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Matija Dobric opened to 1,000,000 from early position and was called by Andres Jeckeln in the small blind as well as Tom Kunze out of the big blind.

The flop came and both blinds checked. Dobric continued for 1,000,000 only to be met by a raise to 3,000,000 from Jeckeln. Kunze quickly folded to send the action back to Dobric who re-raised enough to force Jeckeln all in. The Argentinean made the call for his tournament life.

Andres Jeckeln:
Matija Dobric:

Though Jeckeln was ahead, his opponent did have a lot of straight and flush outs. The turn immediately ended affairs with Jeckeln rising from his seat prior to the meaningless river. He collects $323,100 for his impressive 21st-place finish while Dobric ascends to the tournament chip lead.

Tzur Levy pushed all in for the last 4,500,000 from under the gun and Evan Krentzman called all in for 4,250,000 in the small blind as the two bottom stacks at the table were essentially flipping a coin for who would advance further.

Level 34 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Karim Rebei raised it up to 1,400,000 in the small blind with the and was called by John Eames in the big blind, who reluctantly came along with the . What followed was the flop on which Rebei checked after almost a minute and nearly identical time was spent for consideration by Eames, which then led to a bet worth 850,000 with his full house.

Rebei was having none of it, mulling over his next move for more than a minute, then raised it up to 2,000,000. Some one and a half minutes later, Eames three-bet to 3,500,000 and Rebei then used another minute before clicking it back to 5,500,000.

The call by Eames followed and they headed to the on the turn with more than ten minutes already spent during the click-back war.

Time moved as slowly thereafter but with fewer twists as Rebei bet 3,275,000 and Eames called as they headed to the on the river. Rebei now bet 4,500,000 with complete air and then instantly folded his bluff when Eames pushed all in for just 5,250,000 total, only 750,000 more into a massive pot but with zero equity on a stone cold bluff.
