Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Niels van Alphen raised to 18,000 and Chris Dowling called in the small blind before Ilan Boujenah clicked to 44,000 from the big blind. Van Alphen then moved all in and Dowling folded, Boujenah quickly called.

Boujenah: {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}
Van Alphen: {A-Spades}{K-Hearts}

The {3-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} flop and the {9-Hearts} turn were still good for the Frenchman, but the {K-Diamonds} river gave van Alphen a pair of kings and Bounejah a trip to the payout desk.

Munksgaard Leaves Gieles Crippled

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Per Munksgaard opened to 16,000 from early position and the action folded to Luuk Gieles in the cutoff. He asked for the stack size of his opponent before moving all in. Munksgaard quickly called and Gieles was in desperate shape.

Gieles: {A-Clubs}{K-Spades}
Munksgaard: {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}

The board ran out {J-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{K-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{3-Hearts} and Gieles had just one big blind remaining.

Some Value for Kramer

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

[Removed:172] had tried to semi-bluff Georgios Zisimopoulos off a pair of queens on an ace-high board but got called. Now Kramer defended his big blind against the raise of Chris Dowling and check-called a bet worth 16,000 on the flop {2-Clubs}{3-Spades}{4-Clubs}. Both players checked the {2-Diamonds} turn and then Kramer bet the {Q-Clubs} river for 38,000.

Dowling called but mucked when he was shown {Q-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} for queens and fours.
