Jan Eric Schwippert opened to 20,000 from the hijack and the only player who wanted to tangle with him was Hoa Vinh Luong in the big blind. Luong very methodically counted out 50,000 chips and raised to that amount. A few moments later, Schwippert folded and showed 
.
A massive hand just went down that resulted in Taras Kripps climbing to 600,000 chips!
It was a three-way all in between Kripps, Thomas Lutz and Daniel Sindelar. Here's how the cards looked.
Sindelar:

Kripps: 
The final board read 
busting Sindelar, crushing Lutz and boosting Kripps.

We joined the action on a 
flop, where Robert Little had checked in the big blind. British favorite Barny Boatman bet 23,000 from the cutoff only to see Little make it 55,000. No sooner had Little's chips hit the felt, Boatman had raised all in. Little snap-folded and Boatman scooped the pot.
"Ace! Ace!" pleaded Robert Bonneau but the ace never came on the 
board, leaving Mike Quick's as the best hand.
The remaining 27 players will now redraw for the final three seats.
