Hemmert Doubles Through Slabyk

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Taras Slabyk tangled with Udo Hemmert and was immediately disappointed when the cards were flipped over.

Udo Hemmert: {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{6-Clubs}
Taras Slabyk: {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{9-Spades}{2-Clubs}

On the {a-Spades}{j-Spades}{4-Diamonds} flop, Hemmert essentially locked up the double and the {5-Clubs} turn made things official as a meaningless {j-Hearts} rolled off on the river.

Level 24 : 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Maurizio Melara
Maurizio Melara

Maurizio Melara had previously folded to a flop bet by Martin Kabrhel during which the latter predicted he would bust the Italian. As it turned out, that was just delayed as Melara got it in soon after against none other than Kabrhel.

Maurizio Melara: {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}
Martin Kabrhel: {a-Hearts}{a-Spades}{6-Clubs}{5-Spades}

The {8-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{3-Spades}{3-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} board kept Kabrhel's aces in the lead as he made a full house. Melara's run ends in 18th place and he collects €1,906 for the efforts.

Dogan Doubles Through Kabrhel

Level 24 : 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Erkan Dogan three-bet to 130,000 with 30,000 behind and was called by Martin Kabrhel, who had tanked and was clocked. The last chips went in after the {k-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} flop for the following showdown to emerge.

Erkan Dogan: {j-Spades}{10-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{7-Hearts}
Martin Kabrhel: {a-Spades}{j-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{5-Hearts}

"Give me five, five," Kabrhel joked to the dealer, though he also had a flush draw at his disposal. The {7-Spades} turn and {9-Spades} river kept Dogan in contention as he doubled his short stack.
