Level 12 : Blinds 20,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Robert Heidorn moved all in for 600,000 under the gun and Johan Guilbert called in the hijack.

Robert Heidorn: A♠Q♦ All in
Johan Guilbert: A♦K♥

Heidorn found himself dominated and at risk, and the 3♥9♣5♠2♣J♠ board kept Guilbert in the lead with his king-kicker to earn him the knockout.

At another table, Thomas Muelocker bet 60,000 from the hijack on a flop of J♥J♣5♥ and Rob Yong called in the big blind.

Both players checked the 3♠ turn. Muehlocker then bet 250,000 on the A♣ river, and Yong raised to 550,000. Muehlocker folded, and Yong showed him Q♥J♦ while taking the pot.

Level 12 : Blinds 20,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Matthias Eibinger had spun up his few big blinds to around 400,000 and got them all into the middle again over a raise from Rob Yong. Yong called and the players went to a showdown.

Matthias Eibinger: A♠10♠ All in
Rob Yong: Q♣Q♥

If Eibinger hit an ace or some spades, he would be back up to almost the starting stack of a million.

Eibinger improved to top pair on the 4♥Q♦A♣ flop, but, Yong hit a set to take a commanding lead. The rest of the board ran out 9♣8♣, and Eibinger was out.

Eibinger was looking for his cappuccino to take to the reentry desk, and Yong offered to assist by saying, "I'll bring it over to you."

Eibinger has since reentered as a fresh starting stack.

Level 11 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Jean-Robert Bellande bet 100,000 from middle position on a flop of 9♣A♥4♣ and Ottomar Ladva called in the hijack, while Justus Held, who had assembled an elaborate structure out of his time bank cards that was so sturdy he was able to rest his chips on top of it, folded on the button.

Bellande then bet another 325,000 on the 4♥ turn and Ladva again called. The river was the J♠ and Bellande bet 425,000. Ladva called once more, and Bellande showed A♣9♥ for two pair to win the pot.

"I can see you've been card dead for a while," Daniel Rezaei joked with Held.

Sinan Unlu then raised to 80,000 under the gun and Adrian Mateos called on the button. Ladva moved all in for 345,000 in the big blind, Unlu reshoved, and Mateos got out of the way.

Ottomar Ladva: J♦J♣ All in
Sinan Unlu: A♣K♠

Ladva hit top set on the J♥8♦2♠ flop, then improved to a full house on the 2♣ turn. The river was the 5♠ and he doubled up.

Gha Iakobishvili bet 85,000 from the button on a flop of A♥9♦7♦ and Justin Steinbrenner called in the small blind.

The turn was the 9♠ and Steinbrenner led out for 125,000. Iakobishvili called, and the 6♥ fell on the river. Steinbrenner then bet another 450,000, and Iakobishvili took a minute before folding.

Level 11 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Matthias Eibinger completed from the small blind and Artur Martirosian raised to 140,000 out of the big blind. Eibinger limp-raised to put Martirosian all in, and Martirosian snap-called for 960,000.

Artur Martirosian: 8♠8♣ All in
Matthias Eibinger: A♦6♠

Martirosian had just reentered and was poised to have a perfect start to his second bullet.

The dealer fanned out the 8♦3♦K♥ flop to catapult Martirosian further into the lead with a set. Eibinger picked up a flush draw on the 5♦ turn. However, the 5♠ on the river gave Martirosian a boat, and he doubled up.

Level 11 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Rob Yong opened to 80,000 in the cutoff, then snap-called for his last 880,000 when Danilo Velasevic shoved from the big blind.

Rob Yong: J♦J♥ All in
Danilo Velasevic: A♠J♣

"Did anybody fold an ace?" Yong asked the table, who all replied no. The Q♠9♦5♠7♣3♦ board ran out safe for Yong, and he doubled up.

"Jacks are playing at this table," Mikalai Vaskaboinikau said.

"Tried to bully me," Yong added.

Level 11 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Sinan Unlu raised to 80,000 under the gun and Adrian Mateos called on the button. Jean-Robert Bellande squeezed to 410,000 in the small blind, and only Mateos called.

Bellande carved out a bet of 375,000 on the 4♠4♣6♣ flop, and after a few moments, Mateos jammed, covering Bellande. Bellande snap-called for his stack of 2,095,000 total and the cards were revealed.

Jean-Robert Bellande: A♣K♣ All in
Adrian Mateos: 10♦10♣

For a pot worth over five starting stacks, Bellande had two overs and a flush draw against the pocket tens of Mateos.

An 8♥ on the turn was a blank for Bellande, but the K♠ to complete the board wasn't, as he spiked a pair to win the pot.

Bellande's stack grew to over five million and Mateos was down to around 2,100,000.

Player	Chips	Progress
Jean-Robert Bellande	5,200,000 2,950,000	2,950,000

Velasevic Has a Hand

David Salituro

Level 11 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Danilo Velasevic raised to 80,000 on the button before Markkos Ladev three-bet to 240,000 in the small blind. Velasevic then moved all in, and Ladev called for 900,000.

Markkos Ladev: A♣10♣ All in
Danilo Velasevic: J♠J♥

Ladev hit top pair on the 10♥8♠4♣ flop, while the 8♣ turn also gave him a flush draw. The 5♦ river was no help, though, and Velasevic's jacks held up to send Ladev to the rail.

"You had a hand? You've been playing every hand," tablemate Rob Yong said to Velasevic.
