Thomas Keller limped from the small blind and Lika Gerasimova checked her option in the big blind.

In a rare limped pot, the flop landed {8-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{9-Spades} and both players checked. The turn brought the {2-Spades} and Keller fired out 80,000 to take it down.

Clash of the Titans

The two biggest stacks had a small skirmish that left Brian Lemke a little poorer.

Fabian Quoss raised to 180,000 from the small blind and Lemke reraised an additional 380,000 from the big blind. After a couple of minutes of thought, Quoss pushed all in for 3 million more and it was Lemke's turn to tank.

Eventually, he mucked his cards and conceded the pot to Quoss, who has extended his chip lead and added more than 400,000 more to his stack.

Three-Way Action is Good for Keller

Lika Gerasimova raised to 160,000 from under the gun and got called by Brian Lemke on the button and Thomas Keller in the big blind.

When the flop came {5-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{6-Clubs}, Keller bet 350,000 and pushed both Gerasimova and Lemke out of the hand.

Sowers More Than Doubles

In a hand where Brian Lemke open raised to 165,000 from the cutoff and Mike Sowers moved all in for 905,000 from the button, Lika Gerasimova re-shoved for nearly 1.1 million. When Lemke folded, the hands were shown.

Gerasimova: {A-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}
Sowers {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}

When the flop came {5-Spades}{4-Hearts}{8-Spades}, Sowers took the lead, but still had a sweat when the turn brought a flush draw with the {9-Spades}. The {6-Diamonds} ended the drama though as Sowers chipped up to nearly 2 million while Gerasimova was left with just 180,000.

Play folded around to Lika Gerasimova in the small blind and she moved all in for her last 180,000 chips. Fabian Quoss insta-called in the big blind.

Gerasimova: {Q-Hearts}{4-Spades}
Quoss: {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}

The board ran out {6-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{9-Spades}{8-Spades}{3-Hearts} and the tens of Quoss hold up to end the courageous tournament of Gerasimova in 5th place. She'll collect an impressive $142,688 for a tremendous tournament.

Mike Sowers raised to 155,000 from the button and got called by Fabian Quoss in the big blind.

Both players checked the flop of {5-Clubs}{K-Spades}{A-Diamonds} and the turn of {9-Diamonds}. When Quoss checked the {2-Hearts} on the river, Sowers bet 180,000 and Quoss called, turning over {K-Hearts}{Q-Hearts} and out-kicking Sowers' {K-Clubs}{7-Spades}

Lemke Wins Blind Battle

[user67765]
In a battle of the blinds, Fabian Quoss limped from the small blind and Brian Lemke checked his option in the big blind.

The board of {3-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{5-Hearts} was checked to the turn where Quoss fired 100,000. Lemke made the call and the {10-Spades} hit the river. Quoss checked and then called the 150,000 bet from Lemke.

Lemke tabled {K-Spades}{J-Hearts} for a pair of kings to take it down.
