flop. Carrel needed more than that though, but the dealer failed to deliver on the 
turn and river.

A Few Small Pots
Level 23
: 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante
Charlie Carrel raised on the button to 75,000 and Julian Stuer defended the big blind. On the 
flop, Stuer check-called a bet worth 100,000 before check-folding the 
turn to a bet of 225,000.
Then, Stuer raised to 75,000 on the button and Thomas Muehloecker defended the big blind. Muehloecker check-called a bet of 55,000 on the 
flop before facing another bet worth 210,000 on the 
turn. That proved to be too much for Muehloecker and he folded.
Last but not least, Muehloecker limped in and called a raise to 75,000 by Dario Sammartino in the big blind. The flop came 
and Muehloecket check-folded to a bet worth 75,000 by Sammartino.

Ekrem Sanioglu: 
"Come on," Sanioglu said in French and asked for diamonds or to pair his jack and queen. However, the turn and river were both blanks and Sanioglu was sent to the rail in 7th place for €171,300. All remaining six players have €235,400 guaranteed and the pay jumps are getting bigger and bigger.
