Ankucic Doubles Through Khalifa

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

The action was folded around to Jonathan Khalifa in the small blind and he got all of his chips in the middle against Nebojsa Ankucic in the big blind. It was Ankucic at risk for 715,000 but he also held the best hand.

Ankucic: {6-Hearts}{6-Spades}
Khalifa: {a-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}

The board ran out {9-Hearts}{7-Spades}{5-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} giving both players two pair but Ankucic's nines and sixes were better to double up through the former chip leader.

Fitz-Jim Flops the Joint

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Wilhelm Isaak and Neville Fitz-Jim got all of their chips in the middle preflop with Isaak being the player at risk for 395,000. Isaak held the best hand with {q-Hearts}{q-Spades} against Fitz-Jim's {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}.

The flop came {k-Spades}{q-Clubs}{10-Clubs} and Fitz-Jim flopped broadway to take the lead. It wasn't over yet as Isaak flopped a set and would need the board to pair to improve his hand. The turn was the {7-Diamonds} and the river landed the {3-Diamonds}. Isaak was eliminated and Fitz-Jim climbed to over 1,000,000 chips.

Ronald Keijzer
Ronald Keijzer

From under the gun, Ronald Keijzer moved all in for around 450,000 and Matous Skorepa three-bet all in for more than 1.4 million. Sebastian Curcu in the big blind, who had just doubled up to 1.2 million, checked his cards and called instantly.

Ronald Keijzer: {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}
Matous Skorepa: {K-Clubs}{K-Hearts}
Sebastian Curcu: {A-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}

Skorepa's face was in pain until the flop fell {K-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{9-Hearts} that gave the Czech a full house. The {10-Spades} turn and the {4-Spades} river were both blanks and the double knockout vaulted Skorepa into the top spot.
