Bise Bows Out; Ramadani Doubles

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Christoph Milbradt scored a vital double with {J-Spades}{J-Diamonds} against the {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs} of Emil Bise thanks to the board of {Q-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}.

The fireworks on the table didn't stop there, as Nijat Ramadani got moved to the table and defended his big blind against a button raise by Stephan Klam soon after. Ramadani shoved for 15,700 on the {10-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{5-Spades} flop and Klam reluctantly called with the {7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}. Ramadani held {J-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} and the {3-Diamonds} turn and {10-Hearts} river blanked, jack-high was good enough for the double.

Meekma Eliminates Canniccioni for the Absolute Chip Lead

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 200 ante
Anton Meekma
Anton Meekma

Johann Kroon raised to 1,200 from mid-position and Leon Canniccioni three-bet to 4,300 from late position. Action folded to Markus Meekma in the big blind who checked out the stacks of his opponents after having looked at his hole cards. He four-bet to 11,000. Kroon folded but Canniccioni called.

The flop came {3-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{8-Clubs}, Meekma now bet 13,500 and Canniccioni answered with a shove. Meekma snap-called.

Anton Meekma: {K-Spades}{K-Diamonds}
Leon Canniccioni: {9-Spades}{9-Hearts}

The rest of the board ran out with the {10-Spades} and the {q-Diamonds}. No danger for Meekma as he eliminated Canniccioni and has now really cemented himself at the top of the chip counts (for now).

Klock Takes a Knock; Busts

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 200 ante
Alexey Bratishchev
Alexey Bratishchev

On the heads-up turn of {J-Spades}{7-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}, Alexey Bratischchev was all in for his last 27,100 and Holger Klock called with little chips more and the {K-Spades}{10-Hearts}. Bratischchev had {K-Diamonds}{K-Hearts} and the {4-Diamonds} river was no threat.

The very next hand, Klock moved all in for the last 7,000 and Bratischchev called from the small blind with the {J-Spades}{J-Diamonds}. Klock only had {K-Hearts}{6-Hearts} and the board came {10-Clubs}{6-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}.

Horecki Doubles Through Tran

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

The PokerStars Team Pro, Marcin Horecki, just put his tournament life on the line when he had gone all in from the cutoff for the 11,000 he had left. Do Tran, on the button, checked how much Horecki still had, and then made the call.

Marcin Horecki: {8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}
Do Tran: {5-Diamonds}{5-Spades}

The board ran out {9-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{10-Clubs} - Horecki rivered a straight for the double up.

Lutkemeier Doubles Through Bracht

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Markus Meekma raised to 3,000, Philipp Lutkemeier three-bet to 7,700 and Maximilian Bracht shoved. Meekma folded and Lutkemeier tanked. After thinking for a bit he decided to put his tournament life at risk and called.

Philipp Lutkemeier: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}
Maximilian Bracht: {A-Hearts}{k-Spades}

The board ran out {8-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{4-Clubs} - no danger for Lutkemeier as he doubled up the 29,500 he still had behind.

Solid Stack for Wagener

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 200 ante
Christoph Wagener
Christoph Wagener

According to Do Tran, he was involved in a limped pot with {7-Spades}{6-Spades} against three other players including Christoph Wagener and the latter flopped two pair with {A-}{Q-} on {A-Spades}{Q-Spades}{J-}. Wagener bet and an opponent moved all in for 40,000, Tran folded his flush draw and the player at risk flashed {4-Spades}{3-Spades} for a flush draw as well to see the turn and river brick.

Becirspahic Triples Up

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 200 ante
Jasmir Becirspahic
Jasmir Becirspahic

Jules Ayoub was moved tables and built his stack significantly while former chip leader Michael Murschall just took a hit. On the three-way flop of {10-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{2-Spades}, Jasmir Becirspahic in the big blind check-raised all in for 18,600 after a bet of 4,600 of Murschall in the cutoff and a call by Mads Borregaard on the button.

Murschall called quickly and Borregaard did so as well before realising that it was significantly more than his cold-call. The {A-Diamonds} turn and {Q-Hearts} river were checked through by both remaining active players and Becirspahic showed {10-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} for two pair, Murschall mucked {J-Spades}{7-Spades} for a busted flush draw and Borregaard couldn't beat that either.
