This was a very big pot.

Board:
Kursevich had 1.4 million at the start of the hand, meaning that Ylitalo is out in unlucky 13th place, and Kursevich is at a little over 2.5 million. Kristijonas Andrulis was moved over to the non-feature table to balance it out to six players per table, and we play on.
Vadzim Kursevich and Max Heinzelmann both have comfortable stacks and as neighbours are going to find themselve in blind-on-blind situations like this one for a while. It folded to Hinzelmann in the small blind who raised to 102,000 which was called by big blind Kursevich.
Both players checked the flop, but Heinzelmann led for 66,000 on the turn. After a bit of a think, Kursevich called. The river was the and Heinzelmann bet out 116,000. This too got a call but Kursevich mucked when Heinzelmann revealed his which had improved with the second queen on the river.
The dealer has just shepherded more chips to across to Max Heinzelmann after the only pot of any notice in the last fifteen minutes.
Heizelmann had opened to 82,000 and Martin Jacobson flat-called from the big blind to see a wet-looking flop of . Jacobson check-called a bet of 76,000 before both checked the turn.
The river was the and Jacobson check-called a bet again, this time to the tune of 145,000 but he mucked when Heinzelmann turned over .
Having made several attempts to get it in preflop (one successful but an anticlimactic split) Luis Jaikel was called raising all in on the cutoff by small blind Martin Jacobson. Jaikel's 410,000 stack represented the majority of Jacobson's own chips, and it ended up being a race for a stack.

The board ran out and this is not to be the Day of the Jaikel.
Max Heinzelmann opened to 82,000 preflop from early position before Cuello Jorge Mariano reraised to 230,000 from the cutoff. Passed back to Heinzelmann and he now made it 505,000 in a big 4-bet.
Mariano quickly announced all-in and Heinzelmann sighed, "Count please."
The amount that came back to him was 1.775 million more and Heizelmann elected to fold.
A short-stacked Jeffrey Hakim moved all-in from the small blind with and Armin Mette snap-called from the big blind turning over a dominating .
Hakim was the slightly shorter of the two and needed lady luck to appear on the board but instead it came and Mette's stack rose back over the 1 million mark.
