Christian Zetzsche

Level 8 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Marco Di Persio raised to 5,000 from under the gun and Leonid Yanovski called on the button. The K♣J♦5♠ flop saw Di Persio continue for 7,500 and pick up a call.

Both players then checked the 4♠ turn and Di Persio bet the 4♥ river for 21,000. Yanovski quickly folded and the pot was shipped to the Italian.

Level 8 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Predrag Vulovic raised and Adolf Buettner called. Christoph Helmers repotted for Vulovic to shove, Buettner folded and Helmers called all-in.

Christoph Helmers: K♦K♣10♦6♠
Predrag Vulovic: A♠10♠9♥3♥

The double-suited combo of Vulovic hit gin on the 10♣3♠3♣ flop but Helmers pulled a rabbit out of the hat with the K♥ turn. Nothing changed with the 9♠ river as Helmers doubled for 26,700.

Level 8 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Dominik Paus checked the 10♠5♥4♥9♠ turn out of the big blind, which prompted a pot-sized bet of Eran Carmi for 45,500. Paus reluctantly called and then jammed the 7♣ river for 45,700.

Carmi went into the tank and ended up folding. Paus showed only one card, which happened to be the A♠.

Mikkel Plum limped in and called a raise to 8,000 by Marco Di Persio, which led them to the Q♥J♥5♠ flop. Both checked to the 8♦ turn on which Plum bet 12,000 and Di Persio flat-called.

They checked down the 5♣ river and Plum shrugged, exposing A♣10♣10♠Xx.

Level 7 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

The turn showed J♦9♦3♠10♣ and Leonid Yanovski had checked over to Piero Alioto, who bet 55,000.

"How much is in the pot?" Yanovski inquired and then moved all-in when it was confirmed to be 78,400. Alioto only had a few chips more to call and did so swiftly.

Leonid Yanovski: A♠Q♦J♠9♣
Piero Alioto: A♥K♥K♠5♥

Alioto was trailing with his overpair and gutshot, which remained to be the case on the 8♠ river. Yanovski improved from two pair to a straight and doubled for 74,300.
