Alf Martinsson raised to 60,000 from under the gun before Nils Pudel made it 180,000 to go from the next seat over. Martinsson took a while to think things over but ended up making the call.

Martinsson then check-called a 110,00 bet from Pudel on 4♠9♥3♦ before the 2♥ turn fell. Martinsson checked again, and Pudel sized up to a bet of 425,000 chips. However, Martinsson was not going anywhere and put in the same amount for a call.

The 6♦ river then fell and Martinsson suddenly led out for 625,000. An instantaneous fold followed from Pudel, awarding Martinsson the big pot.

At the same time at another table, three players went to the river on a board of 10♣9♣8♠J♥J♣ when Martin Guerrero led out for 325,000 in the small blind. Maria Lampropulos called in the big blind, while Nils Pudel folded in middle position.

Guerrero then showed 8♥8♦ for a full house and Lampropulos mucked to leave her on a short stack.

Level 21 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Hyunsup Kim raised to 60,000 and then folded when Lars Kamphues pushed all-in for 560,000.

Over on table 137, his brother Timo Kamphues opened to 60,000 on the button for Eusebiu Jalba to call in the big blind.

Jalba checked and subsequently called a bet of 40,000 on the A♠7♣4♣ flop. They checked the 8♦ turn and Jalba led the 6♠ river for 120,000. Kamphues raised to 335,000 and Jalba surrendered, as both Kamphues brothers successfully claimed pots. Their stack sizes are not quite the same, though.
