Hand #33: Schillhabel raised again to 38,000 with {a-Hearts}{5-Hearts} under the gun and Seth Davies called from the button with {q-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}.

Hands #26-30: Davies Makes Mistake and Folds Kings Preflop

Level 17 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Hand #26: Christian Christner opened to 38,000 from under the gun holding {A-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} and Fedor Holz defended the big blind with {7-Spades}{7-Clubs}.

The flop landed {4-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{8-Hearts} and Holz checked to Christner who bet 25,000. Holz called, and the turn landed the {J-Spades}. Holz checked, and Christner bet out 75,000 which was met with a call from Holz as the river landed the {2-Clubs}.

Holz checked, Christner bet 150,000, and Holz folded.

Hand #27: Steffen Sontheimer opened the cutoff to 38,000 holding {Q-Spades}{7-Spades} and Seth Davies three-bet the button to 120,000 holding {K-Spades}{K-Hearts}.

From the big blind, Christian Christner four-bet to 290,000 holding {A-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}.

Sontheimer quickly mucked, and Davies mucked also believing it was just him and Sontheimer in the hand because when the dealer announced re-raise (in reference to Christner's four-bet), he believed it was a delayed announcement of his three-bet. Following the hand there was a little bit of confusion before Davies realized the mistake he had made.

Hand #28: Steffen Sontheimer opened to 37,000 holding {K-Clubs}{9-Clubs} and Seth Davies called holding {K-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} in the cutoff. From the button, Fedor Holz three-bet to 156,000 from the button with {J-Hearts}{7-Hearts}.

Sontheimer folded, but Davies called, as the flop landed {A-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{5-Clubs} and both players checked. The turn landed the {9-Spades} and both players checked again as the {6-Spades} completed the board on the river. Both players checked, and Davies collected the pot.

Hand #29: From the button, Christian Christner opened to 42,000 holding {K-Clubs}{10-Clubs} and collected the blinds and ante.

Hand #30: From the button, Stefan Schillhabel opened to 42,000 with {10-Hearts}{9-Spades} and Steffen Sontheimer looked down at {K-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} in the big blind and three-bet to 140,000. Schillhabel mucked, and Sontheimer was pushed the pot.

Seth Davies on Day 2
Seth Davies on Day 2

Hand #21: Stefan Schillhabel raised to 34,000 under the gun with the {q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} and the folded when Steffen Sontheimer three-bet to 113,000 from the cutoff with the {10-Clubs}{8-Clubs}.

Hand #22: Fedor Holz raised the button to 35,000 with the {8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} and Schillhabel defended his big blind holding the {k-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}. Schillhabel checked the {6-Spades}{2-Spades}{j-Hearts} flop and folded to Holz's continuation-bet.

Christian Christner called from the button with the {7-Spades}{7-Hearts} and the flop came down {j-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}. Christner checked his set and Davies bet 30,000. Christner responded with a check-raise to 100,000 and Davies used a time extension before moving all in for 445,000 total.

Christner snap-called and Davies was looking for some help. The {k-Diamonds} turn gave Davies a Broadway draw, but it was the {a-Spades} on the river that would give him a bigger set and the double.

Hand #24: Christner raised to 40,000 with the {a-Spades}{5-Clubs} in the cutoff and took down the blinds and antes.

Hand #25: Holz raised to 38,000 under the gun with the {k-Clubs}{q-Hearts} and Justin Bonomo looked down at the {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} on the button. He reraised to 115,000 and Holz folded.

Hand #6: Justin Bonomo limped the small blind holding the {2-Spades}{2-Hearts} and Steffen Sontheimer raised to 46,000 from the big with the {k-Clubs}{7-Hearts}. Bonomo called and then both players checked the {5-Spades}{4-Spades}{a-Diamonds} flop.
