Level 3 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Paulius Mikaliunas opened the action with a raise to 1,200 from under the gun. Erik van Hulst then three-bet to 3,500 on the button, which Sirzat Hissou cold called in the big blind.

Mikaliunas did not deem that enough and reraised to 12,000. Van Hulst called the four-bet before Hissou back-raised to 40,000.

Mikaliunas spent some time in the tank, after which he jammed all in for 100,300. Van Hulst quickly folded but Hissou snap called to a showdown.

Paulius Mikaliunas: A♥A♦ All in
Sirzat Hissou: K♥K♦

The ultimate cooler had occurred, and the 8♣7♦Q♣Q♠2♥ board brought no salvation for Hissou. He paid Mikaliunas his double-up and was left with 21,000, which he would lose not much later to be eliminated.

Fahredin Mustafov raised to 1,000 from early position with Janne Nevalainen calling from the hijack. Maik Frey then three-bet to 2,200 out of the small blind, which only Mustafov called.

Frey bet 3,000 on the A♣3♥6♦ flop and Mustafov called.

The J♥ turn saw both players check and the Q♥ dropped on the river. Frey checked and Mustafov put out an overbet of 28,000. Frey thought it over for roughly a minute before he settled on a fold.

Kai Cocklin

Level 2 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Hoang Phan had pumped it up to 4,600 preflop after an open and both Fabian Scherle & Peter Bosen had made the call to take it to the streets.

On the K♣7♥A♠ flop, Scherle checked and Phan bet 5,500. Bosen quickly called, and Scherle folded.

The 6♦ on the turn drew another bet from Phan, this time for 11,000. Again, Bosen wasted no time in calling

A 10♠ completed the runout and Phan kept up the trend of betting extremely quickly by firing 25,000. Bosen didn't imitate the speed of Phan's play, and had to slow down a bit to think this one over. After rechecking his cards, Bosen tossed in a blue chip, worth 25,000, and called.

Phan then tabled the nuts with Q♥J♣, and Bosen flashed A♣Q♦ for top pair before the dealer turned it over.

"He had the right idea, he knew you were full of it," said one of the table to Phan, who didn't seem to care as he raked in the pot, which boosted his stack to around 135,000.

Player	Chips	Progress
Hoang Phan	135,000 35,500	35,500
Fabian Scherle	82,000 7,000	7,000

Blom checked the 2♣ turn and Marquet bet 25,000. Blom jammed for Marquet's remaining 40,000 and Marquet snap-called.

Mike Marquet: Q♦Q♠ All in
Viktor Blom: Q♣4♣

Blom had flopped two pair but was drawing dead to the set of queens that Marquet held. The irrelevant K♣ came on the river and Marquet had doubled up through Blom.

Gyula Rapolti limped in for 400 under the gun. Meik Schoenberg raised to 2,500 from early position. Peter Bosen called from the hijack and Belarmino De Souza defended the big blind.

He checked the 7♦2♦5♠ flop as did Rapolti. Schoenberg bet 10,000. Bosen and De Souza folded and Rapolti made the call. The 8♠ turn was checked around before Rapolti. Another X♦ rolled off on the river and Rapolti led for 17,300 and was snap-called by Schoenberg.

He tabled K♦J♦ for the second nut flush. Rapolti had 4♦3♦ for an inferior flush.
