. Gerner had the 
and got there on the river of a board 
.
Right after, Oliver Sosna raised to 120,000 on the button and the player with the nickname Michael Ballack moved all in from the small blind. Martin Kabrhel in the big blind started his usual table chatter, stood up from his chair and said "Sometimes you have to gamble, right? All of it," Kabrhel said.
Sosna asked for a brief count and folded when it was deemed to be just over two million. "I have aces," Kabrhel added and Michael Ballack replied "okay, I have a chance then."
Michael Ballack: 
Martin Kabrhel: 
The board ran out 
and Kabrhel's hippo had more chips to protect.

River Rescues Simon Trumper
Level 14
: 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Simon Trumper was happy to recount and recent hand where he got a nice bit of luck and an even nicer double-up.
Trumper called a raise holding 
and went to the flop of 
.
Trumper called a 180,000 bet from his opponent and they then saw a 
hit the turn. A bet of 260,000 this time was met with a shove for around 1,600,000 from Trumper.
It took quite a while before his opponent called with his 
two pair and Trumper need some help from the deck to avoid elimination.
Help duly arrived in the form of a river 
and the better two pair.

SUPER HIGH ROLLER: ElkY Finds Aces
Level 14
: 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
With Leon Tsoukernik absent from the table, that meant his big blind was up for grabs, something that won't have slipped Fedor Holz's mind as he raised under the gun to 3,000. Betrand "ElkY" Grospellier came in for a 3-bet to 7,500 next to act, with action folding back round to Holz, who thought for a moment before making the call.
Holz checked the 
flop over to ElkY, who went for a continuation bet of 6,500. Holz gave it some consideration before tossing in two green 25,000-value chips, enough to set ElkY all in. ElkY quickly called for his last 26,000 and whipped over , which had Holz's in bad shape.
The dealer burned and turned the , giving Holz a gutshot draw for an additional four outs, one that he hit on the 
river. ElkY sarcastically rolled his eyes into the back of his head, as the table playfully needled Holz's ability to win, no matter what the situation.

Chinek Survives Sweat to Double
Level 14
: 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Nourreddine Chinek min-raised from under the gun and Aleksandar Tomovic three-bet to 475,000. Teunis Kooij moved all in from the button and Chinek called all in for his last 720,000.
Tomovic asked for a count on Kooij's shove and folded when it was deemed to be for 2,835,000.
Nourreddine Chinek:
Teunis Kooij: 
The 
flop was a huge sweat for the Belgian, but the turn and 
river were both blanks.

Tran Loses a Flip
Level 14
: 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Patrick Wiper raised to 135,000 from under the gun and the action folded all the way to Do Tran in the small blind. His stack had melted to all but 1.1 million and Tran gave it some thought before moving all in. Wiper asked for a count and called.
Do Tran:
Patrick Wiper:
The flop left Tran with just one seven or running outs to a full house, but the 
turn and river failed to improve the German. Wiper, who had qualified online for Day 2 via partypoker, is on track to convert that into a payday of at least €2,000 as less than 130 players remain.

Level 14
: 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
