Adam Lamers

Level 14 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Thomas Taylor raised to 20,000 in early position and was called by Ben Lamb on his left and Jason Koon in the big blind. The flop came 6♦4♣2♣ and Koon led out with a bet of 35,000. Taylor raised the pot to 180,000 which forced Lamb to quickly fold and Koon eventually followed suit.

The next hand, Sean Troha opened to 35,000 from the cutoff and Koon three-bet to 115,000 in the small blind. Troha moved all in for around 175,000 and Koon quickly called.

Sean Troha: A♣K♥K♦Q♣ All in
Jason Koon: A♠A♦10♣8♥

The board ran out J♠J♥6♣5♠Q♦ and Koon's pocket aces were enough to eliminate Troha.

Level 14 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Laszlo Bujtas limped in early position and when action got to David Wang in the hijack, he raised to 45,000. Action folded back to Bujtas, who made the call.

The flop came down 10♣Q♦2♦, and both players checked. The turn brought the 5♦, prompting Bujtas to take over the betting lead, doing so for 30,000, which Wang called.

The river brought the 3♥, and Bujtas continued the aggression, betting 80,000. Wang gave it some consideration but elected to fold.

Level 14 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Both Philip Sternheimer and Jonas Kronwitter put in 85,000 before the flop to set up a large pot.

The flop came 4♦A♠3♠, which led to a check from Sternheimer before Kronwitter slid out 90,000. Sternherimer called to see a turn.

Sternheimer used a time bank before he checked on the 8♣ turn, and Kronwitter checked back.

Both players checked the 9♣ river.

Kronwitter showed A♦J♦J♥5♥, which was enough to beat Sternheimer's K♦K♠6♥6♠.

Level 15 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

On the last hand before the break, Martin Kabrhel and David Peters were heads-up on a flop of 9♣5♥4♦. Kabrhel led out with a bet in the small blind and Peters ripped all in for around 70,000.

"Media! Where's the media?!" Kabrhel exclaimed. "It's time to say goodbye to David. Revenge of the Sith!" Kabrhel eventually called and the cards were tabled.

David Peters: A♣9♦8♦7♣ All in
Martin Kabrhel: Q♠Q♣4♠4♥

"Queen!" Kabrhel shouted even though he was already in the lead. The J♦ and 3♠ completed the board and Kabrhel's set of fours was good enough to eliminate Peters.

Level 15 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Artem Maksimov raised in early position to 30,000. The next player to act called, which prompted Jeffrey Hakim to follow suit before the big blind joined in, too.

The four players went to a flop of 5♥6♥5♣ and action checked through.

The turn J♣ was good enough for Maskimov to pick up the aggression again, betting 45,000. Hakim was the only player to call.

The river 10♠ didn't slow Maskimov down, this time putting out a bet of 155,000. Hakim really wasn't sure what to do, using four time banks before counting out the chips and calling.

Maskimov turned over A♣A♥10♣8♥, for two pair, and Hakim mucked his cards face down.

Level 15 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Picking up the action on the turn with the board reading 8♣7♥4♥5♣ and over 100,000 in the middle, three players were still active in the hand. Rob Hollink was first to act and threw in a bet of 75,000 which both Daniel Geeng and Michael Duek both called.

The river was the 9♠ and Hollink slowed down with a check. Geeng counted out a bet of 260,000 and Duek just called, hoping to attract Hollink into the pot but he opted to fold. Geeng tabled K♣J♦10♣7♦ for the nut straight and Duek held Q♥J♠10♦8♥ for the same straight to chop the pot.
