Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
Thai Minh Duc
Thai Minh Duc

A short stack jammed for 25,000 from under the gun and NONAME called from two seats over. Thai Minh Duc then reraised all in for 62,400 and NONAME called to create a three-way showdown. The short stack had {3-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}, NONAME another pocket pair in {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds} and Duc went in with {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds}.

The board ran out {8-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{8-Clubs} and Duc more than doubled, eliminating the short stack.

Damian Hütter raised to 6,500 and picked up one caller to see a flop of {Q-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{2-Spades}. Hütter bet, faced a min-raise and called.

After the {J-Diamonds} turn, his opponent got the remainder of his stack in for 75,100 and Hütter called with {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds} only to see the bad news. The other played had flopped a set of fives with {5-Hearts}{5-Spades} and Hütter didn't get there on the blank {8-Clubs} river.

Pascal Brehm Doubles

Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

The field is shrinking and only shows 122 out of 365 entries remaining. Pascal Brehm just avoided elimination with a big blind special and jumped above average stack.

Roman Tvrzník raised to 5,000 and was called three ways including Ismail Kalkan on the button. Brehm then moved all in out of the big blind and the action folded back to the cutoff, who shoved for slightly more. Kalkan asked for a count of Brehm's all in, which was determined to be 41,200, then folded.

Cutoff: {7-Clubs}{7-Hearts}
Brehm: {J-Spades}{J-Hearts}

The board ran out {8-Hearts}{6-Spades}{4-Spades}{2-Spades}{6-Hearts} and the pair of jacks secured the double.

Thai Minh Duc Takes a Hit

Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

On the heads-up flop of {Q-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{9-Spades}, Thai Minh Duc bet 7,000 and Karlheinz Maier raised to 30,000. Duc called and tabled his cards already without realizing that his opponent was not all in yet. The floor staff explained that Duc will continue to play the hand face up, which he understood, and then Maier moved all in for some more on top. Duc called and they tabled the cards.

Maier: {9-Clubs}{8-Clubs}
Duc: {A-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}

The {Q-Hearts} turn ended the hopes of Duc to win the pot outright, and the blank {5-Spades} river let Maier double for 51,500.

Mugurel Farcas Runs Bad

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

First Mugurel Farcas called the all in of Jehad Yasin for 19,700 out of the big blind with {A-Spades}{10-Spades} and faced the {K-Hearts}{J-Hearts} of his opponent. The board ran out {K-Spades}{K-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} and Yasin doubled.

The next hand, Farcas open-shoved the small blind and Thomas Fritz called all in for his last 14,900 with {9-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}. Farcas held the {A-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} and ended up second best after a roller coaster board of {J-Spades}{9-Clubs}{2-Spades}{A-Spades}{7-Hearts}.
