Level 30 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Jarod Einsohn open-shoved under the gun for a stack worth 1,300,000 and it folded to Martin Stausholm in the small blind and hesitated for a moment and eventually called:

Jarod Einsohn: A♦10♦
Martin Stausholm: A♥J♦

Einsohn had the dominated hand, but managed to find a board 3♣10♥K♥8♣8♥, giving him two pair with the tens to earn the double up.

"It's nice to get lucky sometimes!" said Einsohn jokingly to his table while grabbing the pot.

Level 30 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Jesse Letchworth opened in early position to 400,000, with around 750,000 chips left behind. It folded to Charles Pinckernell who called on the button before Zejin Shen decided to shoved in the big blind after some thinking.

Jesse Letchworth snap-called for his remaining chips and after a minute, Pinckernell also called all in, Shen covering his two opponents:

Jesse Letchworth: A♠A♣
Charles Pinckernell: K♠J♦
Zejin Shen: A♥J♠

Letchworth had high hopes for a triple up, but the dealer showed a board 10♦3♥K♠Q♣4♣, giving the winning hand to Shen with the straight, who sent his two opponents to the payout desk.

Level 30 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

In a heads-up raised pot, the flop read K♥8♦3♠ when Andreas Kniep check-called from the big blind a bet worth 250,000 from Scott Hardie.

The 9♣ turn didn't bring any action and a 8♥ landed on the river. This time Kniep led out for 450,000 and it was enough to win the pot as Hardie quickly folded.
