Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Petr Svoboda defended his big blind against an open raise by Davidi Kitai and checked the 8♥7♥7♠ flop. Kitai continued for 30,000 only to then face a check-raise to 115,000 by Svoboda. Within just a few seconds, Kitai moved forward a stack of T-25,000 chips and Svoboda called all-in for around 375,000.

Petr Svoboda: 10♣7♣
Davidi Kitai: A♥9♥

The 6♥ turn instantly improved Kitai to the nut flush and the 9♣ river was of no help anymore to the local poker pro.

Moments later, Aliaksandr Shylko was all-in with a short stack and tabled the A♦5♦. Salih Atac was ahead with J♠J♦ but the 10♠10♦3♠A♠10♣ runout gave Shylko a superior full house.

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Florin Bilan was already all in from early position when the K♦7♥3♦ flop was dealt. Both Timo Kamphues in the small blind and Jacob Amsellem in the big blind, who had each called the all-in to create a 425,000 pot, then checked and the 7♣ turn was dealt.

Kamphues then made a bet of 110,000 and Amsellem quickly escaped the pot by mucking his hand.

Florin Bilan: A♥10♠
Timo Kamphues: K♥Q♣

Bilan needed to hit an ace on the river, but failed to do so when the 2♥ was put on the felt instead. He took his leave as Kamphues passed Amsellem in the counts.

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Heads-up on a board of 9♦A♣5♠J♥, Stefan Hulin bet 80,000 from middle position before Vivian Saliba raised to 180,000 in the big blind.

Hulin called and the 5♦ fell on the river. Saliba then moved all in for 575,000, sending Hulin deep into the tank.

"Ace-five? Nines," he asked Saliba, who remained silent until she called the clock after several minutes had gone by. Hulin allowed the countdown nearly to reach zero before he called.

Saliba turned over A♠J♦ for two pair, while Hulin also showed A♥J♠ as they chopped the pot.

Bruno Desimini only had 150,000 or so chips remaining when he checked from the big blind on the completed board of K♦3♠Q♥A♣7♥. Alexander Tkatschew was on the button and put Desimoni all-in, and the latter quickly called.

Tkatschew showed 7♠7♦ for a rivered set and Desimoni's cards were only briefly flashed before they hit the muck and he took his leave.

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Alf Martinsson raised from the hijack and was called by Michael Armstrong on the button, Alexander Tkatschew also came along in the big blnd as well. The Q♣3♥3♠ flop was checked to Armstrong, who continued for 55,000. Tkatschew got out of the way but Martinsson called.

That led the duo to the 5♥ turn on which Martinsson check-called for another 90,000. The 10♠ river was checked by the Swede once more and Armstrong pushed all-in. No count was asked upon as Martinsson snap-called.

Already knowing his fate, Armstrong flipped over the K♦J♦ for a king-high bluff and Martinsson dealt the final blow with the A♠A♣.

"It was fun," the Canadian said on his way out of the tournament area.

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Raoul Refos and Nils Pudel were battling over a pot that had grown to a size of 385,000 chips when they arrived on the turn on 10♣7♥K♠2♥.

Refos checked from the big blind and Pudel made a bet of 80,000 on the button. Refos made the call and the 7♦ river completed the board.

Refos checked once more, but relinquished his cards and thus the pot when Pudel put him all-in for his final 275,000 chips.

With around 350,000 in the pot on a board of Q♠10♥A♠6♣, Axel Hallay bet another 350,000 from the big blind before small blind Hyunsup Kim raised to 700,000.

Hallay called and the 10♦ fell on the river. Kim checked over to Hallay who moved all in. Kim snap-called for his last 400,000 and turned over K♠J♥ for the flopped straight.

Hallay shook his head in disbelief as he flashed A♣K♦ before giving up the massive pot.

Christian Zetzsche

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Three ways to the 9♣6♦5♣9♥ turn, the action checked to Axel Hallay in the under-the-gun position and he bet 75,000. Aaron Duczak check-raised all-in out of the small blind and forced two folds.

Moments later, the cards were on their backs one table over with Alexandr Dusco all-in out of the big blind for 260,000 on the A♠6♦3♦ flop against Giuseppe Mazza-Boussemart from one seat over.

Alexandr Dusco: A♥3♠
Giuseppe Mazza-Boussemart: A♦10♠

The 7♥ turn added more counterfeit outs for Mazza-Boussemart but Dusco further improved to a full house with the 3♥ river.
