Bo Rundström
Bo Rundström

Dieke Meyer shoved all in from early position for about 67,000 and was called by Bo Rundström in the hijack with a similar stack. The rest of the players folded.

Bo Rundström: {K-Spades}{K-Hearts}
Dieke Meyer: {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}

The board ran out {6-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{a-Spades}{2-Clubs}{j-Spades} - no help for Meyer and he walked away from the table. The dealer counted out the stacks and Meyer, in fact, had 6,500 more. Meyer was called back to the table and aid his ante. The hand after he folded and then he got moved to a new table with 6,000 in his rack.

On the {5-Hearts} turn, Zarnegar check-raised for the second time from 40,000 to 80,000 and [Removed:72] called. Even before the river came, Zarnegar announced all in in the dark and [Removed:72] tank-folded the {6-Hearts} river with the clock being called on him.

"Good fold," Zarnegar added and said he had the nuts. [Removed:72] was somewhat puzzled and Zarnegar turned over {5-Spades}{5-Clubs} for quads.

Loo Loses Flip to Schulze

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

A few players are approaching half a million in chips and among them is also Johannes Schulze. While the previous progress so far is unknown, the latest hand saw him in a coin flip against Tim Van Loo for 90,000.

Van Loo had the {Q-Hearts}{Q-Spades} and Schulze tabled {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts} to see the {A-Spades} appear on the flop.

Meekma Showing it All

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Markus Meekma
Markus Meekma

Markus Meekma raised to 9,000 from early position and was called by the player in mid-position and Raffael Targowski in the big blind.

They all checked through the {J-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} on the flop to the {6-Diamonds} on the turn. Targowski checked, Meekma bet 14,500, the player in mid-position folded and so did Targowski.

"I'll show again. This is a good hand again." Meekma said and then he showed {K-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}. In the previous hand, he had raised to 9,000 too and everyone folded and he showed pocket kings then.

His table got broken up and while he was stacking his chips up at the new table he said he just won three hands in a row so was on a pretty good run.

Jules Ayoub
Jules Ayoub

Jules Ayoub defended his big blind against a raise by Alexey Bratishchev and check-called a bet on the {J-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} flop. On the {4-Hearts} turn, Ayoub checked and Bratishchev made it 30,000 to go, then called the shove of Ayoub.

Alexey Bratishchev: {A-Hearts}{A-Spades}
Jules Ayoub: {J-Spades}{4-Diamonds}

The {3-Diamonds} on the river failed to save the Russian and an excited Ayoub jumped up from the seat before collecting the chips.

Molaci Melted

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Kayhan Molaci raised to 11,000 and Claus Carstensen three-bet to 22,000. Ulrich Pauls folded out of the blinds and Molaci pushed to receive a quick call by Carstensen with the {A-Clubs}{K-Spades}. Molaci only had {A-Diamonds}{J-Clubs} and the board ran out {8-Spades}{5-Hearts}{5-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}. "Damn, that would have been nice, I folded ace-queen," Pauls said.

Right after, Andreas Giedt moved all in for just 16,500 in the hijack. Pauls called in the small blind, as did Rizkallah Kocheiche in the big blind. The remaining two players checked down the board {A-Spades}{K-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{K-Diamonds} and Pauls showed {9-Spades}{6-Spades} Kocheiche had the {8-Hearts}{3-Spades} and Giedt tripled with {J-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}.
