Action was on the river on a board of 6♥5♦K♠Q♠A♥ and Erwin Wiechers was in the tank considering his next move. He opted to shove all in, an overbet into the pot, which stood at around 10-15k. Niklas Astedt snap called his face off for 24,900.
Wiechers turned over Q♣10♥ for a pair of queens that he'd turned into a bluff. Astedt flipped over J♥10♠ for a rivered straight to win the pot and double up his stack.
The completed board read 3♦4♣2♥10♠J♦ in a hand between Vladislav Dubanov in early position and Benjamin Lebor in the big blind, with around 12,000 in the middle.
Lebor jammed for around 16,000 with the covering stack, and after a significant period of thought, Dubanov looked him for his remaining stack of around 5,000.
Lebor showed 8♥7♥ for air, while Dubanov had found a good call with 9♦9♣ for third pair.
With about 4,300 in the pot and the board showing 7♦9♦6♦7♥, Apoorva Goel, first to act, checked. Elias Gutierrez responded with a bet of 3,500. Goel took his time, contemplating his next move, before deciding to go all in. Gutierrez snap-called.
Goel revealed 10♥7♣ for trip sevens, while Gutierrez held 9♥9♣ for a full house. The only card that could save Goel was the last remaining seven in the deck, but the dealer revealed the Q♠ on the river, securing the double-up for Gutierrez.
Felix Schneiders had opened the hijack to 800 and Saar Wilf three-bet the button to 2,300 before Riccardo Saraniero four-bet the small blind to 6,700. Schneiders then took his time before he shoved for around 35,000, which got a quick fold out of Wilf.
Saraniero was then in the tank and after a minute or so of thinking, he laid his hand down. Schneiders offered to show Saraniero one card, and he picked the A♦.
Elias Gutierrez kicked off the action in the hijack with a raise to 800, drawing calls from Timo Kamphues in the cutoff and Boris Kolev on the button. Sitting in the big blind, Tom Fuchs decided to three-bet to 4,500, and only Kolev stayed in the hand with a call.
Fuchs led with a 4,400 bet on the 3♠8♥10♣ flop, which Kolev called without hesitation.
The 7♣ turn saw Fuchs slow down with a check, prompting Kolev to take the lead with a 6,500 bet. Fuchs thought it over but opted to call.
On the 9♣ river, Fuchs checked once again, and Kolev fired a final bet of 11,100. After taking his time to think it through, Fuchs eventually made the call. Kolev showed 4♥4♣ for a small pair, but Fuchs turned over 10♥9♥ for two pair, tens and nines, scooping the pot.
