Oliver Boesch raised to 10,000, and Uri Reichenstein called. Asaf Berman then jammed for 183,000 one seat over, and Boesch went all in over the top. Reichenstein folded.

Asaf Berman: A♥J♠ All in
Oliver Boesch: A♣K♦

The superior kicker remained ahead all the way on the 10♦8♣7♦Q♠8♦ board, and that spelled the end for Berman.

Level 12 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Harun Ertural raised from the button to 10,000 and Teemu Jaatinen defended his big blind with just 25,000 left in his stack.

After Jaatinen checked the A♦K♣6♣ flop, Ertural bet the minimum of 4,000. Jaatinen check-jammed for 25,000 and Ertural put in the call.

Teemu Jaatinen: K♥J♦ All in
Harun Ertural: Q♣4♣

Jaatinen was ahead with a pair of kings versus the flush draw of Ertural. Jaatinen improved to trips on the K♠ turn and managed to fade a club and earn a double-up when the 8♠ completed the board.

Level 12 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Patrik Jaros opened to 9,000 in early position, and Bastian Gallitzendoerfer called in the small blind. Bartlomiej Muzacz then squeezed to 42,000 from the big blind, which both Jaros and Gallitzendoerfer called.

On the K♥7♠2♠ flop, Gallitzendoerfer checked and Muzacz bet 55,000. Jaros called, and Gallitzendoerfer let his hand go. When the 2♥ fell on the turn, they both checked.

The A♥ fell on the river, and Muzacz took some time before he threw out 225,000, more than Jaros had behind. Jaros reacted immediately and didn't seem impressed with the situation that he found himself in, and some agonizing moments later, he laid down his hand and flashed the A♠ as he did so.

Player	Chips	Progress
Bastian Gallitzendoerfer	850,000

Level 12 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Vikrant Mangal and Viorel Gavrila built a pot of around 60,000 as they went heads-up to the A♥J♣8♣ flop. Mangal then bet 30,000 from the hijack and Gavrila called under the gun.

Both players checked the 5♥ turn. The river was the J♥ and Gavrila bet 77,000. Mangal took a moment but eventually called, and Gavrila showed 7♣6♣ for missed straight and flush draws. Mangal turned over A♠Q♠ for two pair to win the pot.

Level 12 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Christian Schneider opened to 8,000 from the hijack, and was met with a three-bet to 32,000 from Vasyl Pidhrushnyi in the big blind.

Schneider thought the spot through for a bit, before reaching for chips and producing a four-bet to 70,000.

Pidhrushnyi asked how much Schneider had behind, and on hearing the answer was 205,000, promptly five-bet jammed with the covering stack.

Schneider took a good minute to think it over, but ultimately had to send his cards to the muck.

Level 12 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

With around 70,000 in the pot on a flop of Q♥7♠9♠, Elias Vaaraniemi bet 23,000 from the button and Patrik Jaros called in middle position.

Both players checked the 10♦ turn and the 10♣ fell on the river. Vaaraniemi then bet 88,000, sending Jaros deep into the tank.

Jaros spent several minutes shuffling his chips in his hand and squirming around in his seat before taking one last peek at his cards and flicking them into the muck.

"Don't show the bluff. You'll put me on super-tilt," Jaros said.

"I don't know bluffs," Vaaraniemi replied, returning his cards face down and taking in the pot.

Level 12 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

With a pot of 22,000 accrued, on a flop of 6♥4♥2♣, Dragoslav Timarac had ended up all-in for 100,000 from the small blind and at risk against Nikolas Wicquart under the gun.

Dragoslav Timarac: 5♣3♦ All in
Nikolas Wicquart: 10♣10♦

Timarac had flopped the nut straight against Wicquart's overpair, and the 6♦ turn and 4♠ river confirmed Timarac's double-up.

"What's it like to play five-three and flop the nuts? I don't know this feeling, maybe I'm too tight," commented Martin Kabrhel.
