With around 20,000 in the middle on a board of 8♦9♣3♣A♠, Andre Hegendorf led out with a bet of 4,500, only to be faced with a raise to 15,000 by Marcin Puczylowski. After some thought, Hegendorf called.
The A♦ completed the board, and after some deliberation, Hegendorf checked. Puczylowski slid out a bet of 40,000 and Hegendorf went into the tank.
Eventually he asked for the clock to be called on himself, and with 15 seconds remaining, he disposed of his hand.

Claus Spieckermann: Q♠9♠
Modar Alsoud: A♦7♣

Around 70,000 was in the middle on a completed board of 3♦Q♥5♠4♦4♣ in a hand between Nicola Karl in early position and Tim Claussen in the big blind.
Claussen checked, and Karl moved all in for 41,000. Claussen went into the tank, and at one stage looked like he was set to send his hand into the muck.
However he appeared to change his mind at the last minute and gave the spot another minute or so of thought. He then flicked in a calling chip.
Karl showed K♠K♥ for a pair of kings, while Claussen had 7♠3♠ for a pair of threes. Karl scooped a big pot, while Claussen was left with crumbs.
