[Removed:554] raised to 40,000 from the hijack. Emilien Pitavy called from the small blind and Leon Sturm defended out of the big blind.

Sturm check-called a bet of 115,000 on the Q♣ turn to see the 3♦ hit the river. Sturm checked and [Removed:555] bet enough to put him all-in. The bet was for 220,000 and after a few moments of thinking, Sturm made the call.

[Removed:555] showed Q♥10♥ for a pair of queens, which won him the pot as Sturm turned over 5♥2♥ for a pair of fives as he exited the tournament area.

Level 13 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Danny Tang had just bought in a few hands prior and wasted no time getting his chips in the middle as he was at risk against [Removed:554] for 340,000.

Danny Tang: Q♥J♥ All in
[Removed:554]: A♠J♦

"Bye Danny," you could hear a tablemate say as the cards were tabled.

"What do you mean bye? Hearts are coming!"

The Q♠5♠2♥ flop gave Tang a pair of queens to take the lead as he still called for backdoor hearts. The 8♠ turn and 8♣ river meant Tang doubled through [Removed:555].
