Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Adrian Cazacu made it 50,000 to go from middle position and Bastian Dohler called on the button. Max Neugebauer squeezed to 170,000 out of the small blind, and once the big blind folded, Cazacu four-bet jammed for 545,000. Dohler folded, but Neugebauer took another look at his cards before making the call.

Adrian Cazacu: Q♠Q♥ All in
Max Neugebauer: A♣A♠

Neugebauer had Cazacu crushed and would see his stack soar to over a million if his aces held up.

Neugebauer kept the lead on the J♣10♣4♦ flop and K♣ turn. Cazacu couldn't find any of the cards he needed on the 2♣ river as Neugebauer improved to the ace-high flush.

Cazazcu headed to the cashier's desk and Neugebauer's stack grew to roughly 1,400,000.

Player	Chips	Progress
Max Neugebauer	1,400,000 435,000	435,000

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Teemu Jaatinen opened to 50,000 from early position, before Florian Thumm produced a three-bet to 160,000 from the cutoff.

Michael Adam was in the small blind, and he took some time for thought before four-bet jamming for 515,000. Jaatinen quickly folded, and Thumm, who was just covered by Adam, got the rest of his stack in the middle.

Florian Thumm: A♦K♠ All in
Michael Adam: K♦K♥

Thumm had a premium but he was in bad shape, and he could not connect with the Q♥5♥5♦2♣Q♣ runout.

Teemu Jaatinen	1,850,000 1,270,000	1,270,000

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Action folded around to Antonio Fragale who moved all in from the small blind. Dimitrios Gkatzas called in the big blind.

Antonio Fragale: J♣10♠ All in
Dimitrios Gkatzas: K♣K♥

Gkatzas had woken up with kings as the flop came A♥Q♦J♥, giving Fragale outs with a pair and straight draw. The turn 2♠ was no help, while the 5♥ river locked up the pot for Gkatzas.

The stacks were counted down and Gkatzas had 500,000 remaining. Fragale was barely covered and headed off to the payout desk.

Gerald Karlic: A♥K♠

Tim Baker

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Andreas Krause jammed for 245,000 from early position and Teemu Jaatinen made the call to try and bust him out of the small blind.

Andreas Krause: A♣10♦ All in
Teemu Jaatinen: A♥J♦

Krause needed to come from behind to keep his seat in the Main Event. Krause took the lead on the 10♥8♦9♠ flop by spiking top pair, while Jaatinen had a straight draw. The 6♠ on the turn was safe for Krause, but the J♣ wasn't as Jaatinen drilled a pair of jacks to win the hand.

Krause hit the rail, and Jaatinen scooped in the pot.
