Stefan Teckenburg opened to 6,000 under the gun, and received calls from Walter Beckmann on the button and Simone Demasi in the big blind.
On the A♠6♣Q♠ flop, Demasi checked, Teckenburg continued with a bet of 6,000, and both of his opponents folded.
Action folded to Enes Aptoula in the small blind, who raised to 6,000. Marcin Puczylowski was in the big blind and produced a three-bet to 22,000. Aptoula called.
On the 3♠Q♣3♣ flop, Aptoula check-jammed with the covering stack versus a bet of 15,000 from Puczylowski, who snap-called.
Marcin Puczylowski: Q♥Q♦ 
Enes Aptoula: J♠J♦
Aptoula had run into Puczylowski's flopped nut full house, and was drawing to running jacks. They did not arrive on the 9♠6♦ runout.
Jonas Wendel moved all-in from middle position for 28,500 and Robert Lundh followed suit in the cutoff for slightly less. The action wasn't done there though as Quentin Weber called in the small blind, covering both players.
Robert Lundh: J♦J♥
Jonas Wendel: 9♠9♦
Quentin Weber: 7♥7♣
Lundh looked in great shape for a triple up, and remained ahead after the A♥2♠10♦ flop.
However the 9♥ rolled off on the turn to give Wendel a set, and the A♠ improved him further to a full house.

Arwin Abbaspour moved all in from the cutoff for around 31,000 and was called by Stefan Teckenburg in the big blind.
Arwin Abbaspour: A♣K♥
Stefan Teckenburg: 5♦5♥
Abbaspour was behind in a race, and seemed to be headed for the exit after the runout to the turn came J♠8♥10♠7♠, but the K♠ rolled off on the river to give Abbaspour a pair of kings and keep him in it.
Life Outside Poker is a new podcast for PokerNews hosted by Connor Richards that seeks to pull back the curtain on poker players and allow viewers and listeners to get to know them on a personal level.
In the tenth episode, Connor speaks with health and life coach Tyler Todt, a longtime poker player who made seven figures in early online poker days before taking a job in the banking industry and eventually leaving that to become his own boss and a health influencer.
Todt talked about online poker pre-Black Friday, bum hunting Tom Dwan, the benefits of a balanced life, avoiding the pitfalls of Las Vegas, being bullish on humanity and his favorite non-fiction books.
This interview was filmed at the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) inside Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas.
The Life Outside Poker podcast is available on major streaming platforms including Apple Podcasts, Spotify and iHeartRadio. You can also watch the interview with Tyler Todt by heading to the PokerNews YouTube channel.
Action folded to Tjenno Eskes in the small blind, who raised to 3,500. PokerStars Team Pro Felix Schneiders was in the big blind, and he three-bet jammed for 30,000. Eskes took a bit of time to think it through, but made the call.
Felix Schneiders: 10♦9♦
Tjenno Eskes: K♥Q♣
Eskes was ahead but the 9♥8♦7♥ flop was a monster for Schneider, giving him top pair and the wrap around straight draw.
He looked good to obtain a double-up, but the turn brought the K♦, a crazy card, which gave Eskes the lead with a pair of kings, but also gave Schneiders a flush draw to go with his straight draw and pair of nines.
It seemed like Schneiders could barely miss the river with so many outs, but the Q♠ rolled off to give Eskes two pair and send Schneiders to the rail.
