Level 13 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Jens Lakemeier opened to 12,500 from the cutoff and Dorel Eldabach three-bet to 44,000 from the button. Lakemeier made the call.

The flop came K♥J♣2♦. Lakemeier checked, Eldabach moved all in with a covering stack and Lakemeier, who had 51,000 behind, made the call and was at risk.

Jens Lakemeier: A♠K♠8♦7♣
Dorel Eldabach: A♦K♦6♣3♣

Both players had top pair but Lakemeier improved to two pair on the 7♥ turn and remained ahead on the 10♥ river to collect a full double up while Eldabach was left with less than six big blinds.

Samuel Albeck raised to 15,000 on the button and was called by Goran Urumovic in the big blind.

Urumovic led out for 30,000 on the 9♥10♣7♥, which was the exact amount to put Albeck all in. Albeck called and hands were revealed.

Samuel Albeck: K♠10♦8♠6♦
Goran Urumovic: Q♣J♥10♠4♣

Albeck flopped the nut straight against Urumovic’s lower straight, and the 2♣ turn and 7♠ river changed nothing — doubling Albeck up and leaving Urumovic with just 10,000 in chips.

Samuel Albeck	90,000 -72,000	-72,000
