Zoufri Doubles Through Ranzinger
Level 21
: 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
At the end of the previous level, Sascha Ranzinger opened from the cutoff for 22,000 and Nebojsa Ankucic called on the button. Abdelhakim Zoufri shoved in the small blind and the action was back on Ranzinger. The German tanked for quite some time and the clock was called on him, Ranzinger called with a few seconds left and Ankucic folded pocket tens.
Abdelhakim Zoufri: 
Sascha Ranzinger: 
The 
flop gave Ranzinger two pair, but Zoufri regained the lead with the 
turn. A blank 
river changed nothing anymore and Ranzinger, who was up to almost a million in chips before the hand, dropped some.

Level 21
: 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Gaetan Cauchy raised from the hijack and John Racener called from the big blind. The flop came 
and Racener checked to Cauchy who continued for 40,000. Racener check-raised to 85,000 and Cauchy pushed all-in for 211,000. Racener instantly called and Cauchy tabled .
Racener out-flopped him with 
and Cauchy immediately was displeased. He pushed all of his chips forward and stood up from his chair, spewing out a few French curse words. The dealer burned and turned the 
and Cauchy's emotions instantly reversed.
"Yes! Yes!" Cauchy was screaming as he turned a set of aces, leaving Racener drawing dead to the on the river. "Why did you call me with three-four?" Cauchy asked.
"Because you put all of your chips in drawing to 5%," Racener replied with a laugh. His chip stack wasn't as funny as he was left with under 100,000 and would bust shortly after.

Kabrhel Gets Caught Bluffing
Level 21
: 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
With a little over 100,000 in the pot and the board reading 
, Andras Matrai and Martin Kabrhel were at it again for round two. Matrai checked from late position and Kabrhel announced all-in directly to his left.
Matrai was in the tank for a few moments but eventually tossed in a chip to signify a call. Kabrhel quickly turned over 
for just king-high and Matrai showed for two pair. Once the chips were counted, it was Matrai with the shorter stack and called for his last 228,000. Kabrhel sent the chips into the pot and was left with just five big blinds.
