Millionaire Moritz
![[user344984]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Level 16
: 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Moritz Dietrich raised under the gun to 18,000, with the whole table folding around to Kacper Pyzara in the big blind, who called the extra. The pair went heads up to a 
flop, where Pyzara front-jammed for around 50,000 - a little over pot. Dietrich called so quickly, the dealer couldn't even pass Pyzara the all-in triangle.
Pyzara's 
was in rough shape against Dietrich's 
, but the 
turn did offer some chop outs. The 
wasn't one of them, and we lose Pyzara in 12th place. Meanwhile, Dietrich is up to over one million in chips.

Sinclair Shoves into Filatov
Level 16
: 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
After defending his big blind against an under-the-gun raise by Anatoly Filatov, Jack Sinclair check-called a bet on the 
flop and check-shoved the 
turn into a bet of 45,000 by Filatov. That was enough to force a fold and Sinclair claimed the pot.
Up next, Sander van Wesemael raised to 20,000 and Matthias de Meulder called from one seat over, as did Moritz Dietrich in the big blind. The flop fell 
and de Meulder bet 24,000, which just van Wesemael called. After the 
turn both checked and the 
river saw a bet of 56.000 and de Meulder folded.

Big Double for De Meulder; Jachtmann Gets Shown a Bluff
Level 17
: 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Matthias De Meulder and Anatoly Filatov clashed on a flop pf 
. With 87,000 in the middle, De Meulder checked first to act and Filatov on the button bet 35,000. De Meulder check-raised all in for 271,000 in total and Filatov eventually called.
Matthias De Meulder: 
Anatoly Filatov: 
Filatov had to fear both over cards and a nine in order to avoid a big setback, and De Meulder got there thanks to the turn. The river was a blank and the Belgian doubled up.
Over on the other table, Jan-Peter Jachtmann check-called a bet of 100,000 by Van Tiep Nguyen on the 
turn and checked again the 
river. Nguyen made it 170,000 to go, representing almost half of Jachtmann's remaining stack, and the German sighed before eventually folding.
Nguyen turned over and the partypoker pro said just one word: "Nice."

Sick Setup Late On
Level 17
: 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Manig Loeser opened under the gun with a raise to 20,000, before Jan-Peter Jachtmann moved all-in next to act. Action folded back to Loeser who quickly called off his 157,000 stack before fast-rolling his 
. Jachtmann sighed loudly as he tabled .
The 
flop was of little help to Jachtmann, although he did pick up outs to a straight on the turn. The river paired the 
, though, and Loeser picked up a full double.

Filatov Doubles with Aces
Level 17
: 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
A big pot was brewing between Sander van Wesemael and Anatoly Filatov, and until the turn of a board 
, more than 270,000 were already in the middle with a three-bet preflop and a continuation bet and call on the flop. Filatov moved all in for his last 308,000 out of the small blind and received the call he was looking for.
Anatoly Filatov: 
Sander van Wesemael:
The river didn't change anything anymore and Filatov doubled to get back into contention.

Schuh Eliminated by Benoit
Level 17
: 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
We join the action in a hand between Michal Schuh and Benjamin Benoit, on a 
board, with roughly 60,000 in the middle. Schuh checked over to Benoit, who bet out 37,000, before Schuh raised all-in for around 200,000.
Benoit called instantly, turning over for top pair top kicker, and the nut flush draw. Schuh's was in horrible shape, and he failed to pair up on the river, meaning he finished the High Roller in 10th place, bursting our final table bubble.

Short Break Before Final Table Kicks Off
Level 17
: 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Once the last nine were determined, the second table played one hand still that saw Sander van Wesemael get through with a shove before all moved their chips for the unofficial final table. A short break of 10 minutes is now in order before the last nine recommence and try to play down to a champion tonight.
