Level 29 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Limits: 160,000-560,000

Shaun Deeb limped the button, Philip Sternheimer completed from the small blind, and Bruno Furth checked his option in the big blind.

On the K♦6♠5♥ flop, the action checked to Deeb who bet 250,000 and both opponents called.

The turn was the 9♠. Furth led from big blind for 1,100,000 and only Deeb called.

On the A♣ river, Furth checked to Deeb who potted for 3,590,000, and Furth laid it down after a minute's tank.

Deeb tabled A♠8♥3♠3♥ for a missed flush draw as he would have only gotten half had Furth called. Deeb now takes the chip lead for the very first time.

Level 30 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Limits: 200,000-700,000

Philip Sternheimer and Bruno Furth got all of their chips into the middle, with Sternheimer being the one at risk.

Philip Sternheimer: A♦Q♦J♣4♦ All in
Bruno Furth: A♥Q♣J♠5♠

Furth had the chance to send the tournament into heads-up if he could get a favorable runout from the dealer. The board came 8♦A♣7♦Q♠4♠ to give both players the same high, but the river card meant Furth hit a low and earned three-quarters of the pot.

Bruno Furth	11,475,000 2,875,000	2,875,000

Limits: 200,000-700,000

Philip Sternheimer got his last 1,700,000 into the middle and Shaun Deeb was trying to end his tournament.

Philip Sternheimer: A♠A♣Q♣8♦ All in
Shaun Deeb: A♥8♠8♥5♦

Sternheimer had Deeb crushed, and only a lot of help from the dealer would see Deeb win the pot. The dealer revealed a runout of 10♦9♣4♣K♦Q♥, and Sternheimer doubled up with pocket aces.

Limits: 200,000-700,000

Bruno Furth limped the small blind and Shaun Deeb checked his option in the big blind.

On the A♦Q♥J♠ flop, Furth led for 300,000 and Deeb called.

The turn was the 8♣. Furth led again for 800,000 and Deeb called.

On the 10♦ river, Furth led again for 1,000,000 before Deeb clicked it to 2,000,000. Furth then re-clicked to 3,000,000, and Deeb snap-called as he assumed it was a chop. However, that was not the case.

Bruno Furth: K♠8♠3♣2♣
Shaun Deeb: K♦10♠7♥2♥

Deeb flopped the nuts and got extra value on the river from Furth's bluff.

Shaun Deeb made it 600,000 from the small blind, and Philip Sternheimer called.

Shaun Deeb: J♠7♣4♠3♣

Sternheimer just had a pair of deuces against Deeb's many outs. The rest of the board came K♣5♣ and Sternheimer doubled up with his pair of deuces.

Brett Slezak

Level 30 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Limits: 200,000-700,000

Philip Sternheimer limped the button, Bruno Furth limped the small blind, and Shaun Deeb potted the big blind to 800,000. Sternheimer then repotted to 2,600,000, Furth folded, and Deeb called.

On the 10♦6♣2♥ flop, Deeb checked, Sternheimer moved all-in for 4,900,000, and Deeb called.

Philip Sternheimer: A♣J♥4♣3♠ All in
Shaun Deeb: A♥10♥8♠4♠

"We need to fade a jack and a low draw," Deeb yelled to his rail, while a five would also work for Sternheimer.

The K♣ turn was safe for Deeb as heads-up play was one card away. However, the Q♥ landed on the river to give Sternheimer broadway as he scooped to stay alive and leave Deeb on fumes.
