Sava Krink

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Stefan Schoss opened the action with a raise to 8,000, but De Han Kim, sitting in the big blind, responded with a three-bet to 25,000. Schoss quickly called, setting the stage for an interesting hand.

The flop came 3♣Q♣8♥, and Kim continued the aggression with a bet of 15,500. Once again, Schoss called without hesitation.

When the 10♣ hit the turn, Kim checked, giving Schoss an opening to shove his remaining 75,000 chips. Kim took his time, carefully counting his stack before making the call.

Schoss revealed A♠J♠ for ace-high with a straight gutshot, while Kim showed A♦A♣ for an overpair of aces. The river brought the A♥, securing the hand for Kim and sending Schoss to the rail.

Aaron Sternheimer opened the action from early position with a raise to 10,000. Viorel Gavrila, sitting in the hijack, took a moment to ask how many chips Sternheimer had behind before deciding to go all-in. Without hesitation, Sternheimer snap-called.

The board ran out 3♠9♥4♠2♠9♣, offering no help to Gavrila. With no chance for a double-up, Gavrila was eliminated from the tournament.

Patrick Cole

Level 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Gal Naim opened from the button to 20,000. Marius Schneider then moved all in from the small blind for 69,000. Naim made the call.

Marius Schneider: J♠J♣ All in
Gal Naim: 7♣7♦

"Seven always coming" said Naim as the A♥10♠6♣ flop was fanned. The 9♠ prompted him to say "or an eight is coming." The eight did indeed arrive on the river with the 8♦ confirming Schneider's elimination.

At the adjacent table, Pascal Pflock jammed from the small blind and Bernd Gleissner made the call from the big blind. The defending champion Gleissner was at risk.

Bernd Gleissner: A♠4♠ All in
Pascal Pflock: 9♦5♦

Pflock paired his five on the 2♦5♣4♥ flop. He made two pair across the 8♦ turn and 8♥ river.

Both Gleissner and Schneider split the min cash, with both leaving with €1,142.

Sava Krink

Level 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Elton Malaj pushed all-in from early position, prompting Dirk Schumacher in middle position to ask the dealer for a chip count. After confirming it was 43,000, Schumacher decided to go all in himself, and with no one else interested in joining the fray, the cards were turned over for showdown.

Elton Malaj: 9♣8♣ All in
Dirk Schumacher: A♣Q♥

The flop brought a glimmer of hope for Malaj as it showed 4♥9♦7♦, giving him a pair of nines.

However, that hope quickly faded when the Q♦ hit the turn, giving Schumacher the upper hand.

The 5♣ on the river offered no help to Malaj, and he was sent packing, leaving Schumacher to claim the pot.
