Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

Knut Karnapp was seen with 3,700 chips in front of him and Konstantinos Tzimas had shoved for around 21,000 from the button. Karnapp thought for some time as it was for the majority of his stack, but did eventually make the call.

Konstantinos Tzimas: Q♣9♣ All in
Knut Karnapp: A♥Q♠

Karnapp had made the right call and was well ahead of his opponent. However, the 9♥7♠5♣ flop quickly flipped the script as Tzimas paired his nine. A 4♠8♠ runout was no help to Karnapp, which left him with a stack of around 3,000, and doubled Tzimas up.

Erkan Sonmez: A♦7♠ All in

Josef Gulas opened to 800 on the button and was called by Jaromir Hanel in the small blind. Vladislav Solovev squeezed to 3,800 from the big blind, which got a call from Gulas and a fold from Hanel.

Gulas bet approximately 6,000 and Solovev raised enough to put Gulas all in for 17,400 total. Gulas snap-called and hands were revealed.

Josef Gulas: K♥Q♦ All in
Vladislav Solovev: A♣10♦

Gulas had flopped the nuts, leaving Solovev drawing to four outs for a full house.

The 9♦ river bricked out and Gulas was awarded the double up while Solovev was left short with just 7,000.
