Level 12 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

"Where are you from?" Martin Kabrhel asked tablemate Gruffudd Pugh-Jones.

"Wales," Pugh-Jones replied.

"Whales from Wales. Do you know any whales from Wales?" Kabrhel added as Pugh-Jones pointed to himself.

Meanwhile, Marcus Dieleman had raised to 42,000 in early position and Zdenek Zizka called on the button. The flop came A♠9♦7♠ and Dieleman moved all in for 45,000 as Zizka quickly called.

Marcus Dieleman: A♣Q♥J♠6♣ All in
Zdenek Zizka: A♥K♥Q♣J♠

"Very good hand, but not a good flop," Kabrhel said to Zizka, who was still ahead with his king-kicker. The board ran out K♦K♠ and Zizka improved to a full house to send Dieleman to the rail.

Alexander Petersen raised to 35,000 in early position and Vivian Saliba called in the hijack. Aku Joentausta then potted to 145,000 in the big blind.

Aku Joentausta: A♠K♣10♦6♣ All in
Vivian Saliba: A♥A♣J♠5♦

Saliba had trapped Joentausta with her aces as the flop came J♣8♦4♥. Joentausta picked up some outs on the K♦ turn, but Saliba improved to trips on the J♥ river to send Joentausta to the rail.

"I almost shoved," Petersen said.

"We would've had some fun," Saliba replied.

Level 11 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Joni Jouhkimainen raised to 35,000 in early position and Hans Thumann called in the hijack. Krzysztof Magott then reraised to 155,000 in the cutoff and Jouhkimainen folded, while Thumann tanked for a minute.

"Let's gamble," he eventually said as he called. He then bet enough in the dark to put Magott all in for his last 10,000, and Magott called even before the J♦9♥2♦ flop was dealt.

Krzysztof Magott: A♦K♠Q♠4♥ All in
Hans Thumann: K♣Q♥10♣10♥

Thumann remained in the lead with his pair of tens, while the 8♣ turn gave him a straight. The river was the A♦ and Magott was sent to the rail.

Martin Kabrhel took his seat at this table while this hand was in progress. "Is this Hold'em or Omaha? Omaha no good," he said.

Youness Barakat raised to 28,000 in the cutoff and Aaron Pahlawani reraised to 100,000 on the button. "I think you win," Barakat said as he moved all in for 170,000, while Pahlawani snap-called.

Youness Barakat: K♥K♣J♣4♥ All in
Aaron Pahlawani: A♠A♥8♦2♦

"I was not expecting that. But what you're not expecting is the king on the turn," Barakat said upon seeing his kings had run into Pahlawani's aces. Pahlawani hit top set on the A♦Q♠5♠ flop, while the rest of the board came 2♠9♥ to send Barakat off to the reentry desk for a fresh stack.

Tom-Aksel Bedell also recently fired another bullet.
