Ducks on the Pond for Gonzalez

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Sergio Martinez Gonzalez opened to 70,000, leaving only 35,000 behind from under the gun. Ray Dehkharghani reraised to 240,000 from the next seat over. Gonzalez shoved for 105,000 in response to put himself all-in and at risk.

Sergio Martinez Gonzalez: QQ22All in
Ray Dehkharghani: AA74

Gonzalez was behind with five cards to come. The flop did not change anything when it came 5610 to keep Dehkharghani ahead.

The turn was a big one for Gonzalez when the 2 peeled to give him a set.

Gonzalez improved to a full house on the 10 river to secure the double-up.

Derkowski Finds an Out

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Qiang Xu limped in from the cutoff, and Grzegorz Derkowski announced pot on the button, for a bet totalling 90,000. Brandon Shack-Harris called from the big blind, and Xu did the same.

On a flop of A610, Xu potted when checked to, and Derkowski called all-in for his remaining 125,000. Shack-Harris made the fold.

Grzegorz Derkowski: KQJJ All in
Qiang Xu: A764

Derkowski's pocket jacks were behind to Xu's two pair, but had plenty of outs with an inside wrap as well as a royal draw. The 7 turn improved Xu slightly and took away an out for Derkowski, but that wouldn't matter as the 5 river gave him the nut flush to see him survive.

Mu's Kings Stand Tall

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Jason Zipfel opened in middle position for 60,000. When he received the action, Sen Mu took his time to consider his option. He took enough time that Zipfel encouraged him to double up by going all-in, then started cheering him on. Mu obliged, putting in 250,000 chips.

With action back to him, Zipfel called, taking them to showdown.

Sen Mu: KKJ8 All in
Jason Zipfel: A664

Mu's kings held on the J32 flop. Zipfel's outs increased with straight and flush draws, but the runout came 104, giving the victory and the double-up to Mu.

Martin Schamaun
Martin Schamaun

Martin Schamaun made it 55,000 to play from under the gun and was looked up by Andrew Barber in the small blind and Sebastian Pauli in the big blind.

The flop came 247, and Barber checked to Pauli, who bet out for 150,000, which left him just 5,000 behind. Schamaun raised to 300,000, which found a fold from Barber.

The clock was called on Pauli, and with five seconds left, he tossed in his last 5,000 chip to put his tournament life at risk.

Sebastian Pauli: A987 All in
Martin Schamaun: AA54

Schamaun was ahead and had the back-door club draw covered. The J turn didn't change affairs, nor did the9 on the river, and Pauli was sent packing.

Sen Mu raised to 60,000 from the small blind before Christian Harder made the call out of the big blind.

Mu went all-in for his remaining 70,000 on the 97K flop, and Harder called to put Mu at risk.

Sen Mu: AKQ9All in
Christian Harder: QJ103

Mu was ahead when he put the chips in with two pair, but Harder was still drawing to a gutshot straight and backdoor flush outs.

The K turn gave Mu a full house, and the 3 improved Mu to an unnecessary flush to award him the double up.
