Level 4 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Ranno Sootla raised to 2,300 first to act, gathering calls from Jonathan Proudfoot in the cutoff, as well as Marty Smyth in the button and Joris Ruijs in the big blind.

Sootla continued for 3,000 on the A♦2♥8♣ flop, which Proudfoot and Smyth both called, before Ruijs folded.

The 5♠ turn did nothing to slow Sootla down, continuing for 14,000. Proudfoot called for a second time, but Smyth returned his cards to the dealer.

The Q♣ completed the board, and Sootla put out a bet of 35,000, enough to cover the stack of Proudfoot.

Burning through all three of his time extensions, Proudfoot elected to fold, but did turn over his A♣2♣, hoping to garner some information from Sootla.

Sootla said nothing as he dragged in the pot.

Level 4 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

When the action folded to Kenneth Broad in the small blind, he limped in before calling a raise to 4,000 from Joris Ruijs in the big blind.

Broad led out for 6,000 on the 10♥3♠9♥ turn, before seeing Ruijs respond with a raise to 18,500.

Almost immediately, Broad folded, flipping over the 10♠ for top pair. Ruijs offered Broad to pick one card and turn it over. Broad took his opportunity and instead flipped over both of his opponents' cards, revealing K♥K♦.

"Please don't do that again", requested Ruijs, after the hand was complete.

Level 3 : 400/800, 800 ante

With around 7,500 already in the pot, and four players looking at a 7♦3♣Q♣ flop, the action checked to Kenneth Broad on the button. Broad put out a bet of 4,800, which only Nils Pudel called from under the gun.

The action checked down on the 4♥ turn and 4♠ river.

Broad flipped over K♥Q♠, which was good enough to claim the pot.

"I should be arrested for stealing their money", said Broad.

"I offered for them to give me 90% of the prize pool, and they play for the rest, but they said no".

Level 3 : 400/800, 800 ante

The action was joined as Joris Ruijs and Ranno Sootla were battling for a pot with roughly 15,000 already in the middle. With a full board showing J♠5♠6♦5♦Q♣, Ruijs put 25,000 into the middle. Sootla took his time to consider his options before making the call.

It was bad news for Sootla, who mucked his cards when Ruijs flipped over A♠5♥ for trips.
