Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Robert Schulz opened to 5,000 from middle position and Kasper Mellanen reraised to 22,000, leaving a 500 chip behind.

Action folded back around to Schulz who asked for Mellanen's last chip.

Kasper Mellanen: A♣Q♥
Robert Schulz: J♦J♥

The A♦ in the window gave Mellanen hopes of survival but they were quickly quashed by the J♠ and 4♣. Schulz's set held through the K♠ turn and 4♠ river and Mellanen was sent to the rail.

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Nico De Cleen had jammed from the small blind for around 29,000 and been called by Virgile Turchi in the big, with De Cleen at risk.

Nico De Cleen: K♠Q♦
Virgile Turchi: A♣A♥

When he saw Turchi's hand De Cleen laughed and said "I know how to pick my spots."

The A♥10♥2♥ gave Turchi top set and De Cleen a straight draw, but the 10♠ turn extinguished any hopes of a turnaround giving Turchi a full house and leaving De Cleen drawing dead.

De Cleen was already out of his chair before the 6♠ river completed the board.
