Sowinski Doubles Up

[user252447]

Level 27 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

Pawel Brzeski opened for 100,000 and was three-bet by Piotr Sowinski to 255,000. Brzeski moved all in and got the call.

Gerald Karlic Eliminated in 18th Place (€47,400)

[user76023]

Level 27 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

That Dominik Panka, eh? He has been running particularly well today and Gerald Karlic has become his latest victim.

Panka had four-bet shoved over Karlic's three-bet from the blinds and the latter quickly called.

Panka:
Karlic:

The Austrian looked good for a double up but after the board had come the popped up on the river to give Panka a pair. €47,400 will have to do as a consolation for Karlic.
