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

Luc van der Beek kicked off the action with a button-raise to 3,000, and only Alessandro Pichierri in the big blind decided to defend.

The flop came K♥J♠3♥, and Pichierri checked. Van der Beek followed up with a continuation bet of 2,500, which Pichierri called.

On the 10♦ turn, Pichierri checked again, and Van der Beek ramped up the pressure with a bet of 9,000. After some consideration, Pichierri made the call, keeping the pot alive.

The river brought the 6♦, and Pichierri checked for a third time. Van der Beek responded with a sizable bet of 26,000, sending Pichierri deep into the tank. After a long pause and a second glance at his cards, Pichierri decided to fold, awarding the pot to Van der Beek.

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

PokerNews picked up the action with around 12,000 already in the pot and the board showing 3♣7♣4♣6♠. From the small blind, Vitalijs Korhs checked to Max Neugebauer in the big blind, who fired a bet of 4,500. Another player folded, but after some deliberation, Korhs opted to call.

The river brought the A♣, and Korhs checked once more. Neugebauer seized the moment with an aggressive bet of 35,000, putting Korhs to a tough decision.

Korhs went deep into the tank, taking his time as the tension at the table grew. After three minutes, a player called the clock, and the floor gave Korhs 30 seconds to act. With just five seconds left on the countdown, Korhs reluctantly folded, conceding the pot to Neugebauer's bold play.

Player	Chips	Progress
Max Neugebauer	254,000 65,000	65,000
