Enrico Romero raised to 200,000 in early position. The action then folded to Simon Buchta in the big blind, who defended.

Buchta decided to lead out for 145,000 on the 7♦8♠4♥ flop and was called by Romero.

The 7♥ turn and 8♦ river were checked by both. Buchta shook his head and tabled J♦10♠ for the two pair on the board with a jack kicker.

Romero had the better kicker with A♦6♦ and raked in the small but important pot.

Level 30 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Pascal Pflock raised to 200,000 from early position and Daniel Frey shoved for 910,000 from middle position. Edwin Volzhan then shoved for 1,435,000, and Pflock called to put both players at risk.

Daniel Frey: Q♣Q♦ All in
Edwin Volzhan: A♣K♦ All in
Pascal Pflock: 10♠10♥

Pflock surged into the lead on the 10♣7♦J♥ flop and looked set to eliminate two players and earn himself a huge chip stack. However, the runout of 8♠9♥ put a straight on board, but gave Frey a higher straight. Fray tripled up and both Pflock and Volzhan chopped the side pot.

Level 30 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Action was picked up on the flop of 3♠K♣5♣ with William Trumm folding to a 1,600,000 all in wager from Vito Branciforte. Runcan had called a bet from Trumm of around 250,000.

"Do you have a flush draw? king-five maybe?" asked Runcan.

"I don't have a flush draw, do you?" replied Branciforte.

"No i don't" Runcan said.

He eventually found the call after a little longer in the tank. He had Branciforte covered.

Vito Branciforte: K♠J♣ All in
Paul Runcan: 9♠9♦

Runcan was in bad shape and he couldn't find a nine across the 10♣ turn and the 8♦ river.

William Trumm	6,800,000 325,000	325,000

Level 30 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Michal Schuh jammed all in on the button, covering both blinds. Hong Pham made the call in the small blind for 650,000 and the cards were tabled.

Hong Pham: A♦7♠ All in
Michal Schuh: K♦7♦

The Q♦6♠10♣ flop remained safe for Pham, but the 2♦ turn brought a sweat when Schuh made a flush draw.

The 7♥ river did not help him, however, as Pham's better kicker won her the pot and she doubled up.

Player	Chips	Progress
Hong Pham	1,500,000 1,100,000	1,100,000
Michal Schuh	1,250,000 150,000	150,000
