Schwaederle Cracks Aces

Level 5 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Cedric Schwaederle was seen pulling in a pot after he managed to crack the aces of Dai Ishibashi.

It seemed like the chips went into the middle on the K109 flop with Schwaederle's 63,500 at risk.

Cedric Schwaederle: 99 All in
Dai Ishibashi: AA

Schwaederle had binked his set and held onto the lead as the 82 runout changed nothing.

Kirichenko Gets One Through

Level 6 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Aleksandr Kirichenko had lost the bulk of his 200,000-chip starting stack but managed to get some back in a hand against Daniel Vellender.

The board read 7922 and with around 25,000 in the middle, both players put in 20,000 to see the J hit the river. Kirichenko was first to act and led with a shove for 64,000 Vellender then used some time to think it over but eventually decided to fold, allowing Kirichenko to grow his stack.

Daniel Vellender made it 11,000 to go from middle position and got called by Tobias Peters in the cutoff, the button, and Aleksandr Kirichenko in the big blind.

All four checked the K39 flop to the 5 turn, where Kirichenko led out for 11,500. One by one, all of his opponents folded, allowing Kirichenko to take down another pot.
