Level 21 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

[Removed:554] opened to 240,000 from the cutoff and Christoph Vogelsang three-bet to 750,000 from the button. [Removed:555] four-bet shoved for around 4,000,000 and Vogelsang called, putting [Removed:555] at risk.

[Removed:554]: 10♠10♥ All in
Christoph Vogelsang: 7♠7♥

[Removed:555] was in great shape to double up with the bigger pocket pair until the 7♦9♦7♣ flop gave Vogelsang quads, leaving [Removed:555] drawing virtually dead. [Removed:555] was unable to catch running tens when the rest of the board ran out 5♦3♠ and was sent to the rail in brutal fashion while Vogelsang continued to add chips to his stack.

Christoph Vogelsang opened to 450,000 from the small blind and Brynjar Gigja three-bet to 1,200,000 from the big blind. Vogelsang shoved for 5,625,000 and Gigja snap-called with a covering stack to put him at risk.

Christoph Vogelsang: Q♠Q♥ All in
Brynjar Gigja: A♠K♥
