Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Arik Filstein raised it up in middle position and was called by the button. The flop came {j-Spades}{10-Hearts}{6-Spades} and Filstein continued with a bet of 16,500. His opponent called and the {3-Diamonds} landed on the turn.

Filstein checked this time and his opponent tossed in a small bet of 15,500 which Filstein called. The river was the {4-Diamonds} and Filstein opted to shove all in for around 65,000. His opponent instantly folded but asked to Filstein to show his cards.

Cybulski Sweats Through the Squeeze

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Simeon Naydenov opened to 17,000 under the gun and received a call from a player in middle position. Action made its way around to the big blind, where Tomasz Cybulski three-bet all in. Naydenov asked for a count on Cybulski, which was totaled to be 106,000, and then went into the tank.

"One-oh-six (thousand)," Naydenov repeated as the number to call before looking over to the player in middle position. "And you have around 150 (thousand)." He thought about his decision for over a minute and then let his cards go and the player in middle position followed suit after about 10 seconds, resulting in Cybulski taking down the pot preflop.

Meanwhile, Zhong Chen was also spotted at the same table with a stack north of 400,000, making him one of the larger stacks in the room.

Ace from Space Keeps Zukernik Alive

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

There was a raise in middle position and Philipp Zukernik three-bet shoved all in for 87,000 in the cutoff. The action folded back to the initial raiser who quickly made the call to put Zukernik at risk.

Philipp Zukernik: {a-Spades}{10-Spades}
Opponent: {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}

The flop came {q-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} and things were looking grim for Zukernik who was searching for an ace. The {2-Hearts} on the turn got Zukernik out of his chair but the {a-Diamonds} on the river was exactly what he needed in order to stay alive.

Pierre Calamusa raised it up to 12,000 from under the gun and was called by the button. Ralph Schumacher shoved all in for 68,000 in the small blind and Calamusa asked for a count before making the call. The button folded and the cards were tabled.

Pierre Calamusa: {q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}
Ralph Schumacher: {a-Clubs}{j-Spades}

The flop fell {10-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} to give Calamusa a straight and flush draw. "That's a good start," he stated.
