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

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

Stefan Drusca opened from the cutoff and saw a call from Stefan Zander in the small blind. Hoa Nguyen then raised to 85,000 in the big blind and both opponents called.

All three players checked the 6♥J♥5♠ flop before Zander led out for 110,000 on the J♦ turn. Both opponents called to the 4♠ river.

Zander slowed down with a check, followed by Nguyen and Drusca. Zander turned over A♦6♦, claiming the pot as both opponents folded.

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

Hristofor Kolev raised to 60,000 and Georgios Tsouloftas called from one seat over.

The flop came J♥J♦4♦ and Kolev bet 75,000 for Tsouloftas to call.

Fast forward to the 5♠ turn, the same action repeated for 175,000 and that led them to the K♦ river.

Kolev instantly pushed all-in and that sent Tsouloftas into agony. He vaulted out of his chair, pondered about his decision for a minute and called it off for the 205,000 he had behind.

Kolev tabled the K♠K♣ for kings full and Tsouloftas' 8♠8♥ were no good, as the Cypriot headed to the payout desk.

Andreas Schultheiss raised it up in the cutoff and was called by Manfred Mueller on the button. On the A♦9♦4♦ flop, Schultheiss checked and Mueller bet 60,000. The shove by Schultheiss followed and Mueller called for the 395,000 he had behind.

Manfred Mueller: 9♣9♠
Andreas Schultheiss: A♣J♠

Schultheiss sighed upon getting shown the bad news and found no miracle on the 10♥ turn or 6♣ river, dropping to the short stack.
