Level 23 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Nick Shulman Makes Tough Call to Double Into Chip Lead

Level 23 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

With 1.14 million already in the pot and a board reading {5-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}, Nick Schulman checked holding the {10-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} and Steffen Sontheimer moved all in with the {a-Spades}{j-Spades}.

Sontheimer was essentially bluffing, and Schulman agonized over what to do. He used a time extension and eventually spiked in some chips to call off. It was the right call and he scooped a 2.43 million pot because of it.

Level 23 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Dominik Nitsche - 5th Place
Dominik Nitsche - 5th Place

Action folded to Dominik Nitsche on the button and he moved all in for 560,000. Steffen Sontheimer, who was in the small blind, moved all in over the top and drove Stefan Schillhabel out of the hand.

Nitsche: {6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}
Sontheimer: {a-Spades}{3-Spades}

Nitsche was drawing to two live cards, but not after the {k-Spades}{a-Hearts}{j-Clubs} flop paired Sontheimer's ace. Thee {9-Clubs} turn left Nitsche drawing dead, and he took his leave from the tournament in fifth place after the {q-Hearts} was run out on the river.e

Dominik Nitsche Fails to Take From Stefan Schillhabel

Level 22 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

With 240,000 in the pot and a flop of {k-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{7-Spades}, Dominik Nitsche checked from the big blind holding the {a-Clubs}{6-Hearts} and Stefan Schillhabel bet 70,000 from the cutoff with the {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}.

Nitsche woke up with a check-raise to 160,000, Schillhabel just called, and then both players checked the {4-Clubs} turn.

When the {2-Clubs} completed the board on the river, Nitsche checked again and then folded to a bet of 1 million from Schillhabel.

Matt Hyman Shoves the Turn

Level 21 : 20,000/40,000, 30,000 ante

Matt Hyman raised to 105,000 under the gun holding the {a-Clubs}{j-Hearts} and Stefan Schillhabel defended the big blind with the {a-Spades}{10-Hearts}.

Both players checked the {q-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{k-Clubs} flop and then Schillhabel bet 195,000 on the {6-Clubs} turn. Hyman, who picked up the nut flush draw to go along with his guthsot, moved all in and that did the trick as Schillhabel quickly folded.

When the {k-Clubs} completed the board on the river, Sontheimer checked for a third time and then folded when Schillhabel shoved.
