Level 12
: 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
Erik Seidel was down to less than the starting stack after raise-folding to a three-bet shove of Isaac Haxton in the big blind. He then check-shoved a 
flop with 
for 47,200 and Felipe Ramos called with the for top pair. No running clubs or one of the remaining queens in the deck showed up and that was it for Seidel.
Georgios Karakousis and Stefan Schillhabel were also sent to the rail as well.
Schillhabel shoved the second hand in a row, and this time initial raiser Ekrem Saniogliu called the 26,500.
Ekrem Sanioglu: 
Stefan Schillhabel: 
The German took the lead on the flop, but the fortune was short-lived as the 
followed right after on the turn. This left Schillhabel drawing dead, and made the 
river a formality.

On a 
board, Anton Morgenstern had checked the river to Aliaksei Boika. The Belarusian EPT13 Malta winner moved ten T-5,000 chips forward, which was about Morgenstern's remaining stack.
Morgenstern entered a deep tank of over two minutes, sacrificing most of his time bank in the process. With mere seconds left, Morgenstern made up his mind and sternly said "call".
Aliaksei Boika: 
Anton Morgenstern: 
Morgenstern heroic call with just a pair of fives was miles behind Boika's trip eights and the German headed for the rail.
