Level 30 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante

Hand #5: Amir Touma opened for 200,000 from middle position and Frederik Jensen in the big blind made the call. The flop came {9-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{4-Diamonds} and Jensen checked. Touma made a continuation bet of 250,000 and Jensen folded.

Hand #6: With Victor Bogdanov missing from the table, action folded to Steven Warburton in middle position and he opened to 220,000. Mario Sanchez Cano on the button made the call but Frederik Jensen had bigger plans. He got 740,000 out and slid them forward from the small blind. The big blind and Warburton both quickly laid it down. Sanchez Cano eventually decided to follow their lead and laid it down as well.

Hand #7: Rainer Kempe raised it up and took down the blinds and antes.

Hand #8: Action folded to Andreas Samuelsson on the button and he made it 200,000 to go. Amir Touma in the big blind called and the two of them saw a flop of {A-Clubs}{10-Spades}{7-Spades}. Touma checked and Samuelsson bet 225,000 into the 540,000 pot. Touma quickly released.

Hand #9: Andreas Samuelsson went for two in a row and made it 205,000 to go from the cutoff. The button and both blinds folded and Samuelsson again started stacking.

Hand #10: Mario Sanchez Cano raised to 225,000 under the gun plus two and Denys Shafikov three-bet to 475,000 from the cutoff. Sanchez ended up folding and

Hand #13: Andreas Samuelsson raised to 220,000 under the gun plus one and Victor Bogdanov three-bet to 575,000 from the button. Samuelsson looked back down at his cards again, looked at Bogdanov, and then decided to make the call.

The flop brought out {K-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{8-Spades} and the action was checked. On the turn the {Q-Spades} hit and Samulesso checked again. This time Bogdanov bet 750,000 and Samuelsson made the call.

On the river, with 2.8 million in the pot, the {3-Spades} hit and Samuelsson checked again. Bogdanov grabbed more chips and fired out 1.5 million. Samuelsson called and Bogdanov showed {A-Hearts}{10-Clubs} for ace high while the Swede proudly tabled {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}.

Hand 22: Rainer Kempe Triples Up!

Level 31 : 60,000/120,000, 20,000 ante
Rainer Kempe
Rainer Kempe

Hand #22: Frederik Jensen made it 250,000 under the gun and action folded to Rainer Kempe in the hijack. The extreme short stack moved in for 315,000 which didn't re open the betting. Mario Sanchez Cano in the big blind called without having to worry that Jensen could four bet. Jensen added the extra 65,000 and the three of them saw a flop with Kempe all in.

The flop came {K-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{9-Spades} and both players checked. The {K-Diamonds} on the turn had again both players check and they did exactly that again on the {9-Hearts} on the river.

Rainer Kempe showed {K-Hearts}{10-Clubs} and tripled up as Sanchez Cano ({A-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}) and Jensen ({A-Spades}{J-Spades}) both played two pair with an ace.

Level 31 : 60,000/120,000, 20,000 ante

Hand #23: Amir Touma raised to 250,000 and Frederik Jensen called from the big blind.

The checked down board showed {Q-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{A-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{K-Clubs}, and there was 740,000 in the middle when Jensen bet 1,350,000 from the big blind. Touma smiled right away, with a straight on board but a possible flush out there, and went into the tank.

After a while Touma called, and Jensen smiled before saying, "Good call."

Jensen showed {A-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} and Touma tabled {7-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}, and both players played the board.

Hand #24: Steve Warburton raised to 250,000 under the gun plus three and Victor Bogdanov called from his immediate left, as did Andreas Samuelsson. The flop brought out {A-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{J-Clubs} and bot players checked.

The turn was the {8-Spades} and again there were three checks. The river was the {3-Clubs} and again there were three checks. Warburton showed {7-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}, but Bogdanov raked in the pot with {Q-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} to chip up to 2 million.

Hand #25: Mario Sanchez Cano raised from he cutoff to 260,000 and Jensen called from the button. Denys Shafikov called from the big blind and three players saw a flop of {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}. The action was checked to Jensen who bet 400,000 and both his opponents folded.

Hand 28-29: Juanda Doubles Kempe

Level 31 : 60,000/120,000, 20,000 ante

Hand #28: Rainer Kempe moved in for 1,305,000 from the small blind and Steven Warburton folded his big blind. Blinds and antes for Kempe.

Hand #29: John Juanda made it 240,000 under the gun and action folded to Amir Touma in the cutoff and he called. Rainer Kempe on the button tanked for a bit and eventually moved in for 1,585,000. Both blinds folded and the decision was back on initial raiser Juanda. Juanda thought about it and then called, Touma folded.

Rainer Kempe: {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds}
John Juanda: {8-Hearts}{8-Spades}

The flop came {6-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} and Juanda now could also hit a seven to knock out his German opponent. It wouldn't come to that,t he {2-Clubs} on the turn was a blank and so was the {2-Diamonds} on the river. Double up!
