Level 20 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Ferenc Csaba Pal has climbed back above one million in chips after scooping two pots in a row. In the second hand, Radu Danut raised to 40,000 and was called by Pal, Madalin Cornel Petraru on the button and Bogdan Diaconu in the big blind.

On the {K-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{4-Clubs} flop, Danut continued for 50,000 and just Pal called. The {A-Hearts} turn and {5-Spades} river were checked and Pal showed {10-Hearts}{10-Spades} as winning hand.

Fabian the Raising Machine

Level 20 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

The stack of Ferenc Csaba Pal is going up and down like a jojo while he is getting involved in the vast majority of hands. Stefan Fabian was down in chips previously and scooped three pots in a row to climb back up to 1.5 million. Fabian three-bet a Pal open and was called to go heads-up to the {8-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{3-Hearts} flop. Pal checked and folded when Fabian made it 140,000 to go.

Fabian then raised to 50,000 and Radu Danut called in the big blind. Danut check-called a bet of 50,000 by Fabian on the {J-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} flop and the {5-Clubs} turn was checked. Danut bet 100,000 on the {3-Hearts} river and Fabian folded.
