Timothy Little raised the bet to 32,000 chips from under the gun. Niklas Warlich called in middle position.

Eva Slovikova, seated to his immediate left, raised all in for 152,000. Little folded, Warlich called.

Eva Slovikova: A♦Q♠ All in
Niklas Warlich: 10♦10♠

The catchup was splattered on the flop, with A♠Q♣6♣ giving Slovikova top two pair. They held through the turn and river of J♥6♦, providing a nice double-up.

Level 19 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Zhongmin Xia started the action with a min-raise of 24,000 and got three callers in Julio Serrao, Michael Fugate in cutoff, and Zhan Guo in the big blind.

All players saw a flop of Q♦3♦10♥. After action was passed to him, Serrao bet 20,000 which got an all-in reply from Fugate for 217,000. Everyone else got out of the way except Serrao, who made the call.

Michael Fugate: A♥Q♥ All in
Julio Serrao: K♣Q♣

Both players hit top pair on the board, but Fugate had the superior kicker. The runout 9♣9♥ didn't help Serrao. The pot was awarded to Fugate for a double.

Player	Chips	Progress
Julio Serrao	575,000 40,000	40,000
Michael Fugate	540,000 175,000	175,000

Level 19 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Action was picked up with Steven Jablonski with all his chips in the middle of the table and at risk against Mickael Alleon.

Steven Jablonski: 10♣10♠ All in
Mickael Alleon: Q♠Q♦

Jablonski was looking at a potential double up when the dealer flopped K♦K♠10♦ catching a full house. The turn 5♦ didn't change anything, but the K♣ fell on the river, giving Alleon the superior full house.

Jablonski looked a bit shell-shocked, unable to move or get out of his chair as the dealer pushed the pot towards Alleon. After a few seconds of taking in what happened, Jablonski picked up his stuff as Alleon fixed his stack.

Level 20 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Harrison Shockley had just lost a huge pot to "Disco" Dave Welch, and was left with just 2,000 chips to his name when he saw a golden opportunity to spin up as he called all in from middle position. Jorge Dominguez then raised to 40,000 on the button, and Ran Kadur defended his big.

Dominguez continued for 52,000 on the J♦10♥9♦ flop after being checked to, and Kadur called. The 3♠ turn checked through, as did the K♦ river.

Kadur tabled A♠Q♦ for the rivered nuts, and Shockley showed that he really did have it, but his A♥A♦ was no good. Dominguez mucked his cards.

David Welch	900,000 616,000	616,000
Ran Kadur	560,000 310,000	310,000

Level 20 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Kevin Abecassis raised to 32,000 from middle position. Niklas Warlich three-bet to 105,000 from the hijack. Meraf Tedl, sitting on the button made the call.

Abecassis went all in over the top with his 1,300,000-plus stack.

Warlich spent a full minute considering the call, which would put him all in for 562,000. He decided to risk it. Tedla checked out of the hand.

Niklas Warlich: A♦K♥ All in
Kevin Abecassis: J♦J♠

Warlich was in trouble through four-fifths of the runout, but was saved by a king on the river when the full board hit 5♣8♣4♥9♠K♠.

Player	Chips	Progress
Niklas Warlich	1,164,000 1,118,000	1,118,000

On a pot of 90,000 and flop of 6♠4♠K♠, Jose Noceda, in middle position, bet 40,000 after action was passed to him. Raza Malik, the only other player in the hand and seated under the gun, called to see the turn.

The turn fell 4♦ which both players checked. On the river 8♥, Malik fired 60,000 and Noceda folded.
