Daniel Pidun raised to 10,000 in early position and was called by Alkiviadis Stamatis in middle position and Jan Krnac in the small blind. Grzegorz Flak then three-bet to 50,000 in the big blind, and only Pidun called.

Both players checked the A♦7♦4♠ flop. Flak also checked the 10♣ turn before Pidun bet 35,000. Flak called and the A♣ fell on the river.

Pidun then bet 65,000 and Flak quickly called. Pidun showed A♠J♦ for trip aces, and Flak mucked.

Level 13 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Josef Gulas opened up to 10,000 in middle position and Kestutis Jungevicius three-bet the small blind to 38,000. Gulas called.

On the 2♦3♦4♠ flop, Jungevicius bet 36,000 and Gulas called to the 5♠ turn. Even though the board got scarier, Jungevicius didn't stop betting as he threw out 69,000, which Gulas called.

A 7♥ fell on the river and Jungevicius quickly checked, and Gulas quickly knuckled it to showdown.

Jungevicius then revealed 9♦5♦ for a pair of fives, but Gulas showed the winner as he rivered a set holding 7♠7♦.

Level 13 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Kestutis Jungevicius came in for a raise to 10,000 from early position and only Josef Gulas called on the button.

Jungevicius slid out a bet of 13,000 on the 2♠Q♦5♣ flop, and Gulas stuck around with a call.

The J♠ hit the turn, causing Jungevicius to fire a second barrel of 24,000. Again, Gulas called.

Jungevicius checked a 4♠ to complete the board. Gulas bet 85,000, which was enough to get Jungevicius to fold.

Level 13 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Heinz Traut opened from under the gun and Max Schoch three-bet to 36,000 from the small blind. Traut four-bet ripped it for 291,000, causing Schoch to go into the tank. Schoch mulled over the decision for more than two minutes before slamming in the call for the majority of his stack.

Heinz Traut: A♦K♣ All in
Max Schoch: Q♥Q♦

It was a race for a pot of 700,000, and it was Traut that took a commanding lead on the A♣6♥9♥ flop by pairing his ace. The remainder of the board came A♠6♣ to improve Traut to a boat, and he doubled up through Schoch.

Level 13 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

In a preflop raising war, Oliver Boesch ended up all-in and at-risk for 276,000 against Uri Reichenstein in the following showdown.

Oliver Boesch: A♦Q♦ All in
Uri Reichenstein: Q♥Q♠

The 8♣5♣3♠ flop changed nothing, but the A♥ turn gave Boesch the lead, leaving Reichenstein needing the case queen to avoid a major setback. No miracle came with the 4♥ river, and Boesch doubled while Reichenstein was left on a mere 13 big blinds.

Player	Chips	Progress
Oliver Boesch	570,000 115,000	115,000

Tsouloftas smacked the 8♦7♦ on the felt with the words, "Finally I get you," before adding, "Let's play some poker!"

Vandyshev Claws Some Back From Spataru

Kai Cocklin

Level 13 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Aleksei Vandyshev and Andrei Spataru collided again in a pot, where the former got some chips back.

The full board read 6♥9♠A♦5♦6♣, and with around 80,000 in the pot, Spataru had bet 30,000 from under the gun before Vandyshev bumped it up to 113,000 from the hijack.

Spataru was thinking for some time, and while he was deciding how to proceed, Vandyshev was slumped over the table with his head in his arms. After Spataru eventually called, Vandyshev needed to be nudged to get him to reveal his cards.

Vandyshev then showed a full house with A♠A♥, and Spataru pitched his cards back to the dealer.

"You should have paid him 50 euros," joked Max Avela to Spataru, in reference to an earlier hand where Vandyshev paid Spataru to see his cards.
