Gregory Jensen opened to 15,000 from the hijack and Leon Sturm movd all in for his remaining 70,000 from the cutoff. Action folded around to Jensen who made the call and the players went to showdown.

Leon Sturm: 5♠5♦All in
Gregory Jensen: A♣9♦

Sturm held on the 4♥6♦J♣K♠2♥ runout, to put himself back up to 155,000.

In the next hand, he was all in again from the cutoff and covered by Samuel Mullur in the big blind.

Leon Sturm: A♣J♥All in
Samuel Mullur: Q♠10♠

The 4♠8♥6♥ flop looked good for Sturm, and there was little sweat as the dealer placed the 4♣ turn and 9♥ river. Sturm secured another double up and had gone from 70,000 to 319,000 in a matter of minutes.

Level 5 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

After taking a tumble in the most recent level, Gregory Jensen opened to 15,000 from under the gun and faced a jam from Leon Sturm, who was sitting to his direct left, for his remaining 88,000. Action folded around the table and Jensen called.

Leon Sturm: A♠J♦All in
Gregory Jensen: A♣J♣

Jensen had the slight edge holding the suited ace-jack, and the 10♣7♥8♥ flop saw a small chance of a steal, but the J♠ turn ended the chance and the players chopped the pot after the 5♠ river was placed.

Adrian Mateos opened the action by betting 15,000 on the button and Kristen Foxen three-bet to 65,000 from the small blind. Mateos moved in stack of 100,000 chips to cover Foxen's remaining 398,000 and she snap called.

Kristen Foxen: J♣J♥All in
Adrian Mateos: 5♣5♠

Foxen was looking to hold to stay alive and the 9♣2♥4♣ flop kept her ahead. There was a small sweat of the backdoor straight for Mateos, but that ended when the 4♦ was turned.

Foxen locked up her double as the 6♠ river was peeled and sat back with an above average stack.

Leon Sturm: 3♥3♠All in
