Patrick Cole

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

Rami Exman moved all in from the hijack for 17,500. Daniel Koloszar called in the small blind before Alexandre Fournier raised to 42,000. Koloszar then moved all in for 113,500. Fournier called and had both players covered.

Rami Exman: A♥9♣ All in
Daniel Koloszar: A♠A♦ All in
Alexandre Fournier: K♣K♦

Koloszar's aces held up across the Q♥3♥J♦10♣J♠ to secure a big pot and sent Exman to the rail in the process. Before leaving, Exman gave Koloszar a bag of chocolate buttons as a celebratory gift for eliminating him.

The flop came 5♦4♣2♥ and Dalberg checked. Spragg continued for 15,000 and Dalberg check-raised all in for 43,500. Spragg quickly called.

Richard Dalberg: 9♠9♣ All in
Marle Spragg: K♦K♣

Kai Cocklin

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

Frederik Thiemer with around 40,000, Denis Grimm with around 60,000, and Vitalii Shcherba with a covering stack all got their chips into the middle preflop.

Frederik Thiemer: Q♠Q♥ All in
Denis Grimm: A♠K♠ All in
Vitalii Shcherba: A♥A♣

Shcherba was in an excellent spot to send his stack soaring towards the summit and Grimm was already standing up in preparation for departure. However, the 7♠4♠10♠ flop made Grimm quickly sit back down as he flopped the nut flush to all but lock up the pot. A 4♦ on the turn did give both Thiemer and Shcherba some outs, but the 7♦ river was a brick, which meant Thiemer busted, and Grimm almost tripled up.

Denis Grimm	165,000 165,000	165,000
Vitalii Shcherba	50,000 50,000	50,000

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

Jeremie Zouari opened from early position to 5,500 and Esteban Cortes shoved for 43,000 from middle position. When it got back to Zouari, he got the exact count then made call, which put Cortes at risk.

Esteban Cortes: A♣K♦ All in
Jeremie Zouari: 5♦5♠

Cortes had to win the flip to stay alive, but his chances were reduced to nil when the 5♥5♣6♣ flop gave Zouari quads! Cortes was drawing dead and didn't stick around to see the 9♦8♣ runout, and Zouari added the chips to his stack.

Iraklis Manikaros opened from early position to 4,000 and Nikolai Mamut three-bet from middle position to 12,000. When the action folded back to Manikaros, he called.

The duo saw a flop of J♥8♠9♥ where the action checked through to the 8♦ turn. Manikaros led out for 21,000, and Mamut called.

When the 5♣ dropped on the river, both players checked to showdown and Manikaros showed A♠Q♦ for ace-high, but Mamut tabled the winner as he paired his five on the river holding A♥5♥.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Leo Margets opened to 3,000 from middle position and was called by Roei Siman Tov in the small blind and Wouter Beltz in the big blind for a three-way pot.

Action checked to Margets, who continued for 5,500 on the 2♥10♠5♥ flop. Tov folded, but Beltz check-raised to 16,000 and Margets called.

Beltz shoved after the 4♠ came on the turn and Margets called all in for her last 28,500.

Leo Margets: Q♦Q♥ All in
Wouter Beltz: Q♣10♥

Margets held a commanding lead with her overpair, and the 9♥ river changed nothing to award her the double up.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Luka Sorainen was all in from the small blind for around 15,000 and had been called by Jakub Sterba in middle position and Lars-Magne Johansen on the button.

With around 50,000 in the main pot, both Sterba and Johansen checked all the way to showdown on the 3♥2♥6♦A♣9♦ board where Sorainen showed A♥10♣, which got his two opponents to muck. However, they were both forced to reveal their cards as there was an all-in player, so Steba showed K♠Q♠ and Johansen flipped 10♦7♦.

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

With around 10,000 chips in the pot on a flop of 4♦7♠10♣, Lars-Magne Johansen checked from the small blind and Tommy Nguyen also knuckled the table from the cutoff. Scott Masih fired 3,000 on the button, Johansen folded, and Nguyen called.

On the 5♦ turn, Nguyen checked, Masih bet 6,400, and Nguyen called.

An A♦ landed on the river and after thinking for a while, Nguyen led out for 20,000. It took all of two seconds for Masih to call and he revealed a set with 5♥5♠, which gave Nguyen the opportunity to muck without revealing his cards.
