Level 14 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Tomasz Krzesinski fired a pot-sized bet of 105,000 on a completed board of J♣6♥4♦A♥3♥. His opponent was Ole Schemion, who responded with a raise to 335,000.

Krzesinski spent a while in the tank before he called off. Schemion revealed K♥9♦6♦5♥ for the nuts, and Krzesinski's cards hit the muck.

Schemion raked in the chips as the start-of-day chipleader got on even footing with table chipleader Hans Thumann.
