On a 10♣9♠4♠ flop Barak Wisbrod and Masashi Oya checked. Brek Schutten then bet 85,000 and got two callers.

The turn was the 5♥. Again it checked to Schutten who bet 260,000. Oya was the only caller and the river was the A♠.

Oya checked and Schutten appeared reluctant but checked behind.

Masashi Oya: K♣10♥
Brek Schutten: K♦K♠

Kings were good for Schutten who currently sits as a clear chip leader.

"I had 0%. Well, almost 0%," said Wisbrod, who said he had king-high.

Level 14 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Kevin Rabichow limped from the small blind before Vlastimil Pustina raised to 90,000 out of the big blind. Rabichow made the call.

Rabichow checked the 4♠3♠Q♣ flop and faced a bet of 55,000 from Pustina. Rabichow now check-raised to 135,000. After some thought, Pustina made the call.

The 6♥ turn got checked through for the K♣ to come on the river. After using a time extension, Rabichow moved all in for Pustina's remaining 450,000. Pustina thought it over before eventually putting in the call. Rabichow showed 10♠9♠ for a busted flush draw. Pustina flipped up Q♠5♦ for a flopped pair of queens to win the pot

Brek Schutten: J♦J♠

Schutten's jacks remained best, and he KO'd Wisbrod after the K♣9♦7♥6♠3♠ runout.

Rainer Kempe: K♥9♥ All in
