Level 6 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

The players were already all in pre-flop with Leon Sturm in middle position and at risk with 319,000, Ramiro Salinasin the hijack and all in for his last 190,000. Both were covered by Nick Petrangelo in the cutoff.

Ramiro Salinas: 2♣2♠ All in
Leon Sturm: A♥K♠ All in
Nick Petrangelo: Q♥Q♠

Petrangelo was looking to hold, with both at risk players behind before the flop was dealt.

With Petrangelo hitting a set on the Q♣5♠7♣ flop, there was little hope of coming back for Salinas and Sturm. Both missed on the 4♦ turn and 10♦ river, sending two to the rail.

Level 3 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Dejan Kaladjurdjevic opened to 10,000 on the button and Christoph Vogelsang, who was down to 4,000 after paying the small blind moved all in for his remaining 4,000. Chris Hunichen called from the big blind and the players went three-ways to the flop.

The 10♥4♠A♦ flop was checked quickly to the Q♥ turn and 3♠ river. With no further action made, the players turned over their cards.

Christoph Vogelsang: 8♠5♣ All in
Dejan Kaladjurdjevic: J♣3♣
Chris Hunichen: J♥3♥

Kaladjurdjevic showed first, and Hunichen quickly turned over his matching hand, both sitting with a pair of three's. Vogelsang tabled his eight-five which missed the full runout, and he was the second player to hit the rail after just two and half hours of play.

The remaining two players chopped the small pot and Vogelsang stood from the table and left the tournament area.
