Sontheimer Goes Back-to-Back

Level 13 : 60,000/120,000, 20,000 ante
Steffen Sontheimer
Steffen Sontheimer

Daniel Pidun raised to 250,000 from early position and Steffen Sontheimer called in the small blind. Jens Lakemeier was in the big blind and pushed all in for 1.74 million. Pidun folded and Sontheimer quickly made the call. Lakemeier was in the lead with {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds} against Sontheimer's {3-Clubs}{3-Hearts} but when the flop fell {q-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{3-Spades}, Sontheimer jumped in the lead with a set of threes. The turn and river were no help to Lakemeier as he was sent to the rail.

In the next hand once Martin Kabrhel was moved from a different table into Lakemeier's seat, Jan Schwippert limped in from the cutoff and Sontheimer followed suit. With no small blind, Kabrhel took his option and raised to 595,000. Schwippert folded and Sontheimer called.

The flop came {6-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{4-Spades} and Kabrhel check-called a bet of 450,000 from Sontheimer. The {k-Spades} hit the turn and Kabrhel checked again. Sontheimer made a large bet of 2.35 million and Kabrhel eventually mucked his cards. Both Schwippert and Sontheimer have made it clear that they will not be acknowledging any of Kabrhel's antics by ignoring him when Kabrhel asked a question.

Win, Lose, Draw for Urbanovich, But Not in That Order

Level 14 : 80,000/160,000, 20,000 ante

On a {9-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{8-Spades} flop Bartlomiej Machon check-called a bet of 225,000 from Dzmitry Urbanovich and the turn brought the {10-Clubs}.

Machon checked and Urbanovich moved all in for 1,970,000 and Machon called all in for less.

Dzmitry Urbanovich: {8-Clubs}{10-Clubs}
Bartlomiej Machon: {q-Clubs}{9-Clubs}

The river was the {3-Hearts} and Urbanovich was left with around 300,000 chips. They went in next hand with {k-Hearts}{8-Spades} against the {j-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} of Fedor Holz. The board came {7-Hearts}{3-Spades}{a-Spades}{a-Clubs}{2-Hearts} and Urbanovich doubled up.

Then Urbanovich raised to 485,000 from under the gun. Andreas Eiler three-bet all in from middle position and Urbanovich called. Both players held Ace-Jack and the board bricked for both players to chop the pot.

Schemion Takes a Beating

Level 14 : 80,000/160,000, 20,000 ante
Ole Schemion
Ole Schemion

On a board reading {j-Hearts}{7-Spades}{2-Spades}{4-Spades}, Charlie Carrel was in the big blind and heads-up with Ole Schemion directly to his left. They each put in 500,000 on the turn and the {k-Spades} on the river put four spades on the board. Carrel checked and Schemion fired 1.02 million into the pot. Carrel tanked for a couple minutes before making the call. Schemion tabled {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} and Carrel turned over {6-Spades}{6-Diamonds} for a small flush.

In the next hand, Bryn Kenney raised to 350,000 from under the gun and Schemion defended his big blind. The flop fell {j-Spades}{9-Hearts}{6-Clubs} and Schemion check-called a bet of 525,000 from Kenney. The {8-Hearts} peeled off on the turn and Schemion checked again. Kenney pushed forward a stack of T100,000 chips for around 2.5 million.

Schemion only had just over 2 million remaining and decided to make the call. Kenney showed {k-Spades}{j-Hearts} for top pair while Schemion held {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} for second pair and a straight draw. The {4-Diamonds} on the river changed nothing and Schemion was eliminated.

Altergott Eliminated

Level 14 : 80,000/160,000, 20,000 ante
Max Altergott
Max Altergott

Max Altergott raised all in for 1,650,000 from the hijack. It folded to Philipp Gruissem in the big blind who tanked about his decision before calling.

"I have King-high," said Altergott, tabling King-Jack.

"That's good for me," replied Gruissem, tabling King-Queen.

The flop was greeted with a cacophony of groans as the Jack in the window of a {6-Hearts}{10-Spades}{j-Clubs}. The groans intensified on the {q-Clubs} turn as Gruissem picked up a pair of Queens and both players had a straight draw. The groans died off as the {5-Clubs} came on the river and Altergott was eliminated.

Aldemir Flops the Joint to Double Up

Level 14 : 80,000/160,000, 20,000 ante

On a flop of {k-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{j-Spades}, Ahadpur Khangah and Koray Aldemir got all of the chips in the middle with Aldemir being the player at risk for 2.7 million.

Aldemir tabled {a-Spades}{10-Diamonds} for the nut straight but Khangah was still alive with {q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} for two pair. Khangah would need to catch another queen or jack to improve to a full house to eliminate Aldemir. The turn brought the {2-Spades} and the river was the {5-Clubs}. Aldemir continued to hold the nuts and earned a double up through Khangah.

Updated Counts

Level 14 : 80,000/160,000, 20,000 ante

A look around the room and it seems as though a surprising chip leader has emerged. Daniel Pidun has climbed to over 14 million to top the leaderboard. Pidun has $1.2 million in career earnings, but the majority of that came in 2013 when he won an EPT Main Event in Berlin for $1.15 million.

Rainer Kempe doubled through Stefan Schillhabel in the last hand of the level. Kempe held {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} and Schillhabel {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}. The board came {3-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} and Kempe doubled up.
