Level 22 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Niklas Astedt limped in from the small blind and Tamas Adamszki checked his option in the big blind. Astedt then check-called when Adamszki bet 65,000 chips on the 5♠Q♣5♦ board before the 4♦ turn fell.

Astedt checked once more, this time eliciting a huge 400,000-chip bet out of his opponent.

This was too much for Astedt, who quickly folded his hand to forfeit the pot.

Level 22 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Niklas Astedt raised to 125,000 as first to act and the action folded to [Removed:554] in the big blind, who piled his stack of roughly 1,000,000 chips in the middle.

A snap call followed from Astedt and the cards were turned face-up.

[Removed:554]: A♦3♣
Niklas Astedt: 9♠9♣

The 5♦2♥3♥ flop gave [Removed:555] some extra outs, but they would not emerge from the deck on the J♦K♠ runout. [Removed:555] bowed out in fourth place, and Astedt obtained a commanding chip lead over the other two remaining players.

A hand after [Removed:554] doubled up off Daniel Dvoress, [Removed:555] opened to 165,000 on the button and Dvoress moved all in for 450,000 in the small blind. [Removed:555] called to create a second consecutive all-in encounter between the two opponents.

Daniel Dvoress: A♣K♥
[Removed:554]: K♣Q♠

Both players hit top pair on the K♠6♣J♦ flop, but Dvoress' ace-kicker earned him the pot and the double up once the board ran out 10♣4♣.

Level 22 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

The action folded to [Removed:554] in the small blind, who jammed all in for 855,000. Daniel Dvoress sat in the big blind and spent a few time bank extensions before putting in the call to put his opponent at risk.

[Removed:554]: K♦2♦
Daniel Dvoress: Q♥10♠

[Removed:555] flopped two pair on 7♠K♣7♥, but Dvoress turned some outs with the A♠. The 7♣ river gave [Removed:555] a full house, however, and he doubled up while Dvoress was left with seven and a half big blinds.

Level 21 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Niklas Astedt raised to 125,000 on the button, Mike Watson shoved all in for around 200,000 in the small blind, and Astedt called.

Mike Watson: A♥8♣
Niklas Astedt: A♣6♦

Watson had Astedt dominated as the 5♥2♥2♠ flop left open the possibility of a chop. Astedt, though, hit the 6♠ on the turn to make two pair and the river came the 3♠ to send Watson to the rail in fifth place.

"This guy," Watson sighed as he prepared to make the long walk out of the room.

Level 21 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

[Removed:554] raised to 115,000 on the button and Niklas Astedt called in the big blind.

Astedt showed A♥3♥ for trip threes and [Removed:555] mucked. "Three's are hot, boys," Mike Watson said as Astedt took the pot.
