: 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Towards the end of the previous level, Jonas Lauck took down a couple pots and built his stack again nicely to get back into serious contention while Vladimir Troyanovskiy dropped some chips.
After raising to 27,000 preflop from the button, Lauck picked up a call by Tomas Soderstrom in the big blind. The 
flop went check, check, and Soderstrom check-called a bet worth 27,000 on the 
turn. The Swede then checked the 
turn and Lauck took down the pot without showdown by betting 62,000.
Just as the level went up, Troyanovskiy raised to 32,000 and folded to Lauck's three-bet worth 88,000 from one seat over.

Level 21
: 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Eugene Katchalov and Tomas Soderstrom chopped a small pot with the bottom end of a four-card straight on the board before Soderstrom soon after opened to 32,000. Vladimir Troyanovskiy three-bet to 87,000 on the button and the Swede quickly got out of the way.
Then, Katchalov made it 35,000 to go and Troyanovskiy three-bet to 102,000 in the small blind. That was enough to break through any further resistance and again the pot was shipped to Troyanovskiy.

Level 21
: 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
The last couple of hands saw no involvement by Jonas Lauck and Tomas Soderstrom, while Eugene Katchalov and Vladimir Troyanovskiy traded pots back and forth.
There was even one showdown, but the excitement soon faded. Troyanovskiy had raised to 35,000 on the button and Katchalov called in the big blind. On the 
flop, both checked. Same then applied for the turn and 
river.
Katchalov showed the 
and Troyanovskiy had the 
. "It's prettier," Katchalov joked to his opponent while the Russian grabbed the seven and grinned "but it's a black card." Both players laughed, while the action has slowed down a lot as of lately.

: 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Vladimir Troyanovskiy flashed the 
after min-betting a flop of 
after Eugene Katchalov had folded.
One hand later, Jonas Lauck shoved from the button and also showed the after his opponents had folded.
Fast forward one hand, Lauck shoved first to act and Eugene Katchalov asked for a count on the button. Lauck was all in for 272,000 and Katchalov reshoved to isolate successfully.
Jonas Lauck: 
Eugene Katchalov: 
"I folded a five," Troyanovskiy said and Katchalov smiled back with the words "don't spoil it."
The board ran out 
and Lauck failed to improve, joining the rail in 4th place for a payday of €20,640.
