Alexandr Dusco raised to 30,000 under the gun and Stephan Klam called in middle position before Antonello Ferraiuolo moved all in for 115,000 in the small blind. Dusco folded, while Klam gave it some thought before calling.

Antonello Ferraiuolo: A♣K♠
Stephan Klam: 9♦9♠

The 9♥ fell in the window and Klam smacked the table in celebration as he made a set. The rest of the board came 7♦2♣2♠8♥ and Klam finished with a full house.

"One nine," Dusco said, revealing he folded ten-nine suited.

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Yehuda Cohen: A♥5♠
Hyun Kim: A♦9♣

Cohen only saw his ace, so he asked for a 10x when he flipped his cards over, but the 5♠ appeared. However, thanks to this cards, he found a straight draw on the flop 8♥7♦9♥. But the turn 3♦ and the river 10♣ didn't complete it, and he was eliminated.

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Anson Tsang opened to 30,000 from middle position and was called by Patrick Boernicke from the cutoff. Christodoulos Agioploudis, the big stack, raised enough to put both players all in. Tsang, who had around 375,000, called for his tournament life before Boernicke folded.

Anson Tsang: 9x9x
Christodoulos Agioploudis: 8x8x

Tsang was the huge favorite and it remained that way after the K♥6♥6♦ flop. The 6♠ turn changed nothing, but the 6♣ river gave both players quads with a king kicker.

Tsang shook his head in disbelief as he was denied a double up.

Player	Chips	Progress
Christodoulos Agioploudis	710,000 251,000	251,000

On a board of 3♦10♦Q♣J♦2♦, Guengoer stood up and was ready to leave as Herzog hit top pair on the turn. But the other players at the table called him back, because he didn't see he had a flush on the river to double up.

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Three players went to the turn on a board of K♣3♠Q♠8♥ with around 120,000 in the middle when Adriatik Agalliu bet 75,000 from the big blind.

Shawn Stroke called on the button, while Iman Ghashayar folded in the small blind. The river came the 9♥ and Agalliu checked over to Stroke.

Stroke then tossed in a handful of the new white 100,000 chips, enough to put Agalliu all in, and Agalliu quickly called for his last 125,000. Stroke then turned over J♥10♠ for the rivered straight and Agalliu slammed his cards down on the table before making his exit.

"Nice river. That's how you win tournaments," Stroke said as he stacked up the pot.
