Griffin Benger won't add a Slyde watch to his Shamballa bracelet, at least not today. In the first hand of the new level he folded his small blind and then moved all in the very next hand from the button. Mustapha Kanit in the small blind folded but Ole Schemion made a quick call.
Benger: 
Schemion: 
After the 
flop, the Canadian needed a five or runner-runner straight cards to stay alive. The 
turn meant a nine or four would have given him a chop as well. However, the 
on the river was of no help and he shook hands with all opponents and wished them good luck before exiting the tournament area.

Mustapha Kunit opened for 50,000 from the cutoff and Philip Sternheimer looked him up from the small blind. After the big folded, the flop came down

Mustapha Kanit just raised to 48,000 three times in a row. In the first hand he took down the pot against Philip Sternheimer with a 51,000 continuation bet on the 
flop and Sternheimer folded.
In the second hand, Max Greenwood check-called the 51,000 continuation bet on the

turn.
The third hand saw Ole Schemion one seat over and Max Greenwood in the small blind call. On the 
flop the action was checked around. Once the turn showed up, Greenwood bet 95,000 and Kanit called. Schemion raised to 263,000 with 530,000 behind and took down the pot.

flop before the dealer burned and turned the .
Kanit bet again, this time 103,000, and again Schemion just called. When the 
completed the board on the river, Kanit announced that he was all in for roughly 350,000 and Schemion wasted little time in dropping in some chips to signify a call. Kanit confidently rolled over the for two pair, but it was no good as Schemion had turned a bigger two pair with the . Kanit will take home €77,700 for his fifth-place finish.

Level 22
: 12,000/24,000, 3,000 ante
We lose the start-of-the-day chip leader Philip Sternheimer after being crippled in a massive pot against Ole Schemion.
Schemion raised to 67,000 in the small blind and Sternheimer reraised to 174,000 one seat over. "wiziwizo" then clicked it to 349,000 with about 1.2 million behind.
"Will you show if I fold?" asked Sternheimer. He continued to tank and eventually five-bet to 675,000. Schemion moved all in and was called by his opponent.
Sternheimer: 
Schemion:
"Come on, one time baby," Sternheimer said to the dealer. The 
board left him crippled with less than a big blind as Schemion doubled up for huge 1,531,000.
One hand later the German limped the button, Sternheimer called all in from the small blind and Max Greenwood in the big blind checked. The 
board was checked down until the river, Schemion bet 25,000 and Greenwood called. Sternheimer held the 
. Greenwood showed 
and Schemion also took the next pot with the for the flush.

In the very next hand after Philip Sternheimer fell, Ole Schemion opened for 50,000 from the button and Alex Bilokur called from the big blind. Bilokur then checked the 
flop and Schemion continued for 40,000. Bilokur moved all in for roughly 330,000, and Schemion quickly called.
Schemion:
Bilokur:
Both players had flopped a pair, but of course Schemion's was best. Neither the turn nor 
river helped the Russian, and he was sent out the door in third place.
Bilokur began the day as the second-shortest stack, but just by playing tight he managed to ladder up to third place for €119,400. Not too shabby.

Schemion returned to checking and Greenwood took the opportunity to bet 390,000. Schemion thought long and hard before making the call, and Greenwood insta-mucked.
