Level 27
: 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Nino Ullmann raised from early position with the 
and Nicolas Malo defended the 
in the big blind. The flop came 
and Malo check-called a bet worth 125,000. The 
on the turn was checked through and the 
river brought no betting action either and the pot was pushed to Ullmann.
Erik Seidel made it 150,000 to go with the 
in the cutoff and he was called by Ngoc Tai Hoang with the 
, as did Oliver Weis in the big blind with 
. On a flop of 
all three players checked to see the 
turn on which Hoang made the straight.
Weis bet 290,000 and that forced out Seidel, while a raise to 800,000 by Hoang ended the hand right there.
