Kai Cocklin

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Andre Winkler made it 5,500 from the hijack and Sebastian Crane three-bet the button to 15,000. When it got back to Winkler, he made the call.

On the 7♠3♣6♥ flop, Winkler check-called a bet of 9,500 from Crane to see the 9♦ turn, which went check-check.

A J♠ dropped on the river and after Winkler checked, Crane knuckled back to take it to showdown.

"Ahhhh," said Winkler as he revealed a set with J♥J♦.

"We could have got it all in preflop. I had a good hand," said Crane as he mucked.

With around 13,000 in the pot on K♥7♣8♠ flop, Andro Scarpa checked and Ondrej Goetz fired out 4,000. Scarpa called.

A 6♦ landed on the turn and after Scarpa checked for a second time, Goetz sized up with a bet of 13,000. Scarpa then pulled out the min-raise and made it 26,000, which got an extremely quick fold out of Goetz.

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Savov Plamenov opened to 5,000 from middle position and was three-bet to 25,000 by Philip Joyce in the cutoff — leaving himself just 5,500 behind. Patrik Zidek called cold from the small blind and Plamenov folded.

Zidek shoved on the 8♥9♥J♠ flop and Joyce called all in.

Philip Joyce: 7♦7♠ All in
Patrik Zidek: 9♣9♠

Joyce was in rough shape against Zidek's flopped set, but the 10♣ turn improved Joyce to a straight to take the lead.

The 6♣ river bricked out for Zidek and Joyce was awarded the double up.
