Tim Baker

Level 12 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Alexander Huber raised to 8,000 from under the gun and Eric Wasylenko called in the cutoff. Martin Huber jammed the button for 23,500, which Alexander and Wasylenko called.

With Huber all-in, Alexander and Wasylenko checked a runout of K♣3♠6♥9♥K♥ all the way to down.

Wasylenko showed ace-high with A♣3♣, Alexander revealed a pair of nines holding Q♠9♠, while Huber tabled the best hand with K♠J♣ for three kings, earning himself the triple up.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Stefan Eggenberger raised it up to 6,000 from middle position with Nuri Acar calling in the hijack, Daniel Faessler coming along out of the small blind, and Frédéric Delval defending his big blind.

The dealer fanned out a flop of 7♣J♠10♠ and after three checks, Acar bet 13,000. Only Faessler made the call.

A board-pairing J♣ on the turn saw Faessler check-call another bet from Acar, this time for 18,000.

The A♠ on the river got one final check from Faessler before Acar bet 28,000. Faessler quickly called and was shown a boat by Acar with A♣J♥. Faessler mucked and Acar scooped in the pot.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Eric Wasylenko raised to 6,500 from early position and found two callers before Feliks Wilczynski squeezed all in from the big blind for about 45,000. Wasylenko was the only caller and both players revealed their holdings.

Feliks Wilczynski: K♣K♥ All in
Eric Wasylenko: A♣A♠

It was poker's classic preflop cooler: aces versus kings, and Wasylenko happened to be on the right side of it.

The J♠10♠2♠ flop gave Wasylenko a flush draw and removed one of Wilczynski's outs.

The 3♣ on the turn didn't change anything, and despite Wilczynski improving to top set on the K♠ river, Wasylenko won the hand with the ace-high flush.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Marco Magisano raised from middle position and Mario Boos jammed for about 25,000 from the button. Magisano quickly called when it folded back to him, and the cards were tabled.

Mario Boos: A♥10♥ All in
Marco Magisano: 10♠10♣

Magisano was ahead with his pair of tens and needed to fade an ace or some hearts to bust Boos.

A favorable flop of A♠6♠3♥ came down for Boos as he paired his ace. Magisano was unable to find a one-outer on the remainder of the runout as it came 2♠9♦, and around half of his stack headed over to Boos.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

Benjamin Hammann made it 5,000 from under the gun before Sebastian Schwander jammed the hijack for 20,000. Adrian Strobel cold-called on the button, and when it got back to Hammann, he four-bet to 40,000.

Strobel five-bet ripped it, covering Hammann. Hammann instantly called for his stack of roughly 120,000, and the cards were revealed with Strobel having the chance to bust two players.

Sebastian Schwander: J♥J♣ All in
Benjamin Hammann: K♦K♣ All in
Adrian Strobel: A♥K♠

Three premium hands were on show, and it was Hammann who currently had the best of it with cowboys.

The low flop of 8♣4♠6♥ didn't change anything, but the A♣ on the turn catapulted Strobel into the lead with a pair of aces.

Hammann and Schwander missed on the 8♦ river, and all of their chips were sent over to Strobel.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

Heads-up to the turn on a board showing 7♣2♣5♣3♥. Martin Huber checked from middle position and Florian Gehbauer fired out for 21,000 from the button. Huber continued via a call.

A Q♥ landed on the river, prompting one final check from Huber. Gehbauer bet 31,000 and Huber folded while showing the A♣ for the nut flush draw. Gehbauer turned over a set with 5♠5♦ as he was sent the pot.

Strobel Holds With Queens

Level 10 : Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

The player on the button came in for a min-raise to 5,000 before Adrian Strobel three-bet to 20,000 from the small blind. The button four-bet jammed for about 120,000, which Strobel immediately called.

Button Player: A♣4♥ All in
Adrian Strobel: Q♥Q♠

The button had made a move with a weak ace and needed some help from the dealer to beat the pocket queens of Strobel.

The button hit a pair of the 4♦2♣8♥ flop, but couldn't find any more improvement through the 8♠ turn and 7♦ river, which meant all of his stack was absorbed into Strobel's.
