Evan Krentzman: K♦K♣8♠7♦ All in
Chase Steely: A♣K♠10♣8♦

The Q♠ turn improved Steely to broadway and the 2♥ river was a formality.

Level 3 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

On the tail end of the previous level, Mads Amot squeezed in a three-bet from the small blind, which Jonas Kronwitter in the cutoff and Ken Fishman on the button called.

The 6♠4♥8♣ flop checked around before Fishman bet 25,000 once it had checked to him on the 6♦ turn.

Amot called before Kronwitter folded. The 8♠ river was knuckled down again and Amot's A♦A♣K♦10♦ for two pair with aces won the pot.

The next hand, Kronwitter raised to 4,200 in the hijack and Fishman called in the cutoff. Amot then potted on the button and this time both players mucked their cards.

Mads Amot	510,400 85,400	85,400

Level 3 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Ronald Keijzer raised to 5,500 and Anuj [Removed:550] then potted to 18,900 on the button. Michael Duek called in the big blind and Keijzer also came along to the 9♦6♣3♥ flop. Duek bet the pot, tossing in three green T-25,000 chips, and Keijzer folded.

[Removed:550] wanted to see how much Duek was playing and then moved all-in, Duek called instantly.

Michael Duek: A♦9♠7♦5♠ All in
Anuj [Removed:550]: K♣6♠4♣3♠

Duek's top pair was behind against the bottom two pair of [Removed:550] but he hit the 9♥ turn as well as the 9♣ river to double with quads for 199,700.

In the meanwhile, Roberto Sagra has been eliminated and his stack was sent over to Jonathan Azoulay.
