Teunis Kooij got his last 15,600 in the middle with 
against the 
of an opponent.
The flop came 
giving last year's final tablist a pair, but he wasn't out of the woods yet. The turn was the 
and the river the 
as his pair held to double up.

Level 14
: 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Sander van Wesemael held 
and was flipping against the 
of his opponent, who was all in. The board ran out 
and Van Wesemael took a small knock to his stack.
Meanwhile, last year's runner-up Sonny Franco was counting out his chips after grabbing himself a full double-up with 
against the 
of an opponent. The board read 
and Franco moved up to around 100,000 in chips.
Lastly, Sylvain Loosli was part of a three-way all in but was ahead with 
against the and 
of the short stack. There was a king in the window, but the 
gave Loosli a stranglehold on the pot. The 
runout gave him the best hand, and he more than doubled.

Level 15
: 1,200/2,500, 2,500 ante
On a 
flop, big stacks Patrick Clarke and Pierre Calamusa checked to Dominique Potenza who moved all in for 89,000 into a pot of nowhere near that much.
Clarke gave it some thought before Calamusa called.
"Ace-king?" asked Potenza in French as Calamusa turned over 
Potenza turned over 
and continued on a tirade against Calamusa for calling 80,000 with king-ten. The run out didn't change things as Potenza doubled his 89,400 stack.
"I had 
," said Clarke, "Pair and a flush draw. If [Calamusa] wasn't there I'd probably have called."
