Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Valentin Schramm on the button and Ali Abdulzahra from the small blind got their chips into the middle preflop, with the former at risk for his stack of around 60,000.

Valentin Schramm: A♦10♦ All in
Ali Abdulzahra: K♠Q♦

Schramm was marginally ahead, but it was Abdulzahra who took the lead on the 6♥Q♣10♥ flop after he paired his queen. However, the A♠ turn saw Schramm regain control as he made two pair with just one card to come.

A queen or a jack were what Abdulzahra needed, and that's what he got when the Q♥ river improved him to trips, which ended Schramm's run.

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

On a board of 4♣K♦6♥J♣, there were around 40,000 chips in the pot when Amir Shatiat checked from middle position and Vincze Baranyi bet 14,000 on the button. Shatiat called.

An A♣ dropped on the river and Shatiat led out with a bet of 33,000, which sent Baranyi into the tank. Around a minute passed and Baranyi finally elected to call, then quickly mucked when he saw the 8♣6♣ of Shatiat, who had rivered a flush.

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

Gabriel Tuna shoved his stack of 19,000 into the middle from early position and Arsenii Karmatckii called two seats down. Felix Rabas was in the big blind and shoved, which got Karmatckii to fold.

Gabriel Tuna: 10♠9♦ All in
Felix Rabas: A♦3♦

Tuna spiked a ten on the 10♣4♣6♣ flop and was one card away from a double-up after the 5♠ hit the turn. However, Rabas improved to a straight on the 7♦ river, which meant Tuna hit the rail.
