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

Thomas Foertsch raised to 50,000 under the gun before Georges Sultanem moved all in for 315,000 next to act. The table folded back to Foertsch, who tanked for a minute before calling.

Sultanem was far ahead with his kings, and Foertsch found no help on the J♥7♣J♣4♣8♦ board as Sultanem doubled up. Henning Wendlandt is also at this table with a stack of around 1,700,000.

At the same time at another table, Jensen Bernard moved all in for 250,000 and was called by Darius Samual.

Jensen Bernard: A♦K♣
Darius Samual: A♠Q♦

Bernard had Samual dominated and stayed in front as both players made top pair on the A♣5♠4♥9♥ board, but the Q♣ river improved Samual to two pair and sent Bernard crashing out of the tournament.

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

Shawn Stroke has the chip lead going into the break and he just detailed his hand that put him at the top of the counts.

Stroke opened to 60,000 from middle position and was called by Viacheslav Svyshchov and start-of-day chip leader Xhavit Berisha from the blinds.

On the 9♠7x6♠ flop, action checked through to the K♥ turn. Action checked to Stroke, who bet 60,000. Svyshchov called before Berisha made it 300,000. Only Stroke called.

On the Jx river, Berisha then moved all in as the big stack and Stroke, with around 550,000 behind, snap-called for his tournament life.

Berisha had a set with 9x9x, but Stroke had the Q♠10♠ for the queen-high straight.

Shawn Stroke	1,900,000 950,000	950,000

Radek Panoch: J♠J♦

On 3♠7♠3♥3♦Q♥, Marjanovic's aces stayed ahead, and he doubled up. "I would have won the side pot," said Wendlandt, before going on a break.
