With eight minutes left on the clock for the current level, a five-way limped pot would see the bubble burst. Jerry Odeen bet the {J-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{5-Spades} flop for 15,000 and just Vladas Kamasauskas called from one seat over. The {8-Clubs} on the turn saw the Swede continue for 33,000 and again Tamasauskas called, slowly cutting out the call from his stack of T-1,000 chips.

On the {2-Spades} river, Odeen wasted little time before announcing all in and Tamasauskas was sent into the think tank. He took a sip of his water, apologized for taking so long and stood up to study the board. Another minute passed and he ultimately announced the call.

Odeen turned over the {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} and Tamasauskas was trying to muck his cards, declaring the defeat. The dealer turned over his cards since it was an all in showdown and the Lithuanian had called with the inferior {A-Hearts}{7-Hearts} to exit in 28th place on the stone cold bubble.

Vogelsang vs Chartier

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Out of the small blind, Sam Chartier three-bet to 63,000 and initial raiser Christoph Vogelsang called. The flop came {J-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} and Chartier continued for 47,000, Vogelsang called. The {J-Hearts} turn was a staring contest between the duo and Chartier eventually check-folded to a bet of 60,000 by Vogelsang.

Leonzio Doubles Up

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

On a {8-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{9-Clubs} board, Dominik Nitsche had bet 45,000 and was check-raised by Marco Leonzio to 100,000. Nitsche called and saw the {8-Spades} on the river, where Leonzio snap-shoved for 125,000.

"The speed makes me think I'm good," said Nitsche as he contemplated the call. He did eventually call but shook his head as Leonzio turned over {j-Hearts}{q-Spades} for a turned straight.

WIth that hand the two effectively swap chip stacks, with Leonzio over 500,000 and Nitsche back to under 200,000
