Level 12 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

On the turn with the board reading {4-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}, Jake Schindler checked from the cutoff and Jason Koon bet 40,000 into roughly 55,000.

Schindler responded with a check-raise to 135,000 and Koon made the call as the river landed the {7-Hearts}.

Schindler announced he was all in for roughly 320,000, and after using two time extension chips, Koon folded.

Matt Hyman raised to 20,000 on the button and Dan Smith gave him action from the small blind.

Fairly quickly, Hyman dropped in 100,000. Smith folded after about 20 seconds.

Schindler Ships on Kempe

Level 11 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Rainer Kempe and Jake Schindler built a pot of around 150,000 on a double-paired board of {4-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{4-Clubs}. Kempe checked in the cutoff and Schindler bet 60,000. Kempe called and the river brought the {9-Spades}. Kempe checked again and Schindler shoved. It was 139,000 and Kempe shook his head as his timer expired, requiring him to use his last extension. He flicked in and folded moments later.

Greenberg Eliminates Vogelsang

Level 11 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Christoph Vogelsang shoved in the cutoff for 59,000 and Larry Greenberg verbalized a call in the small blind. Dan Shak eyed Greenberg's remaining chips and then announced a fold, wincing as he waited for the others to show down.

Vogelsang: {q-Clubs}{j-Clubs}
Greenberg: {a-Spades}{10-Clubs}

Shak showed pocket fours, saying he doubted he'd have dodged it all. He was right as {9-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} brought a leading pair for the German and a draw for the American. The {6-Clubs} turn furthered improved Vogelsang's position, but the {7-Diamonds} sent him to the showers.
