Chop for Rudolph; Two Pots for Mulder
Christian "WATnlos" Rudolph was forced out of a pot by Niklas "Lena900" Astedt and dropped below a million. He then ended up all-in with the 
on the button and was called by Astedt in the big blind, who had the superior kicker in 
.
The 
flop made a chop likely while Rudolph was in trouble on the 
turn. He now needed a king or ace to chop and sure enough spiked the 
river to escape from elimination for now.
Teun "tinnoemulder" Mulder took a small chunk out of the big stack of Andras "probirs" Nemeth when he defended the big blind against a button raise and they checked the 
flop and 
turn. Mulder bet the river for 255,522 into a pot of 345,300 and won the pot right there.
Mulder won the next pot in same fashion when he called a 120,000 min-raise by Sam "SamSquid" Grafton while in the small blind and they checked the Kd9c8h] flop and turn. Mulder's bet on the 
river was for 105,750 into 352,500 and Grafton folded.
