Level 21 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Ratmir Kesidis raised to 100,000 in early position and Martin Kabrhel called in the big blind.

Kabrhel checked the 5♦J♥4♦ flop and Kesidis checked back. "Not like that! I shouldn't have told him it was my board. It was very helpful to him," Kabrhel said as the 4♠ fell on the turn.

He then bet 270,000, and Kesidis quickly moved all in for 775,000. "Show your aces and I'll fold jacks," Kabrhel told him, taking a minute before sending his cards into the muck.

"Casino Royale!" Kesidis yelled out, borrowing one of Kabrhel's favorite phrases, as he returned his cards face down and took in the pot.

On the A♠9♦7♣ flop, action was checked to Sacchi, who fired out a bet of 60,000. Both of his opponents called.

The 6♦ hit on the turn, and Muzacz changed tack, leading out with a bet of 95,000. Sacchi folded, but Lauck called.

The 2♦ river was checked through, and Lauck mucked when Muzacz tabled 9♥7♠ for the flopped two pair.

Level 21 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Martin Kabrhel came in for a raise to 60,000 from middle position with Jan-Willem Nijmeijer calling on the button, and Yuhan Wang defending his big blind.

Wang knuckled the action over to Kabrhel on the 3♣9♠9♣ flop, and Kabrhel made a bet of 125,000. Nijmeijer called, but Wang check-raised to 350,000. Kabrhell matched the raise and Nijmeijer got out of the way.

A 3♠ appeared on the turn and the two players checked to see the A♥ roll off on the river. Wang fired out 1,400,000 and Kabrhel quickly called.

Wang was playing the board with 7♣2♣ for a busted flush draw, and lost the pot to Kabrhel's 9♦5♦ for a full house.

Level 21 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Georgios Tsouloftas raised to 60,000 in the cutoff before Gerald Karlic three-bet to 260,000 in the small blind. Tsouloftas called and the flop came 8♦6♠5♣.

Karlic then bet 150,000 and Tsouloftas called. The turn was the Q♥ and Karlic bet another 300,000. Tsouloftas used a time bank before moving all in, and Karlic snap-called.

Karlic showed K♣Q♣ for top pair, while Tsouloftas could only show J♣9♣ for a straight draw. The Q♠ river improved Karlic to trips and earned him the pot.

The stacks were counted down, and Karlic's remaining 1,285,000 had Tsouloftas slightly covered, sending Tsouloftas to the rail.

Level 21 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

One of the shortest stacks in the field on the outer tables pushed all in from under the gun, and that happened to be Gregor Daniel for 320,000. The folds followed all the way to Vlad Andrusca in the small blind, who also let go and exposed the 10♣. Daniel Pidun, in the big blind, glanced at the first card, then peeled the second and called instantly.

Gregor Daniel: A♠6♦ All in
Daniel Pidun: A♥K♠

The kicker played on the J♦7♠3♠A♣J♠ runout to send Daniel out in 40th place on a pay jump.

"Good game, Sir, I will follow you soon," Andrusca exclaimed.

Level 21 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Teemu Jaatinen opened to 60,000 from middle position, and Tzur Levy defended the big blind.

On the 8♥7♥6♠ flop, Levy check-called versus a bet of 40,000 from Jaatinen.

The 4♠ rolled off on the turn, and Levy changed approach, leading out with a bet of 75,000. After some thought, Jaatinen called.

The 5♦ river put a straight on the board. Levy led out with a bet of around 420,000, leaving himself 5,000 behind.

Jaatinen jammed, and Levy called off his last chip.

Levy tabled K♦5♠, his turned eight-high straight having become a community hand by the river, but Jaatinen had 9♣9♠ for the nine-high straight; a brutal end for Levy.

Jan-Willem Nijmeijer raised to 75,000 in middle position before Lulei Hu three-bet to 175,000 in the hijack. Nijmeijer called and they went heads-up to the 7♦4♥6♠ flop.

Both players checked to the 9♣ turn, where Nijmeijer led out for 150,000. Hu called, and the 10♠ fell on the river.

Nijmeijer then bet 450,000, and Hu snap-called. Nijmeijer showed A♦J♠ for just ace-jack high. Hu had A♠Q♥ and won the pot with ace-high, queen-kicker.

"One of the greatest calls in poker history. Now it's all over for the Dutchman. Two more hands," tablemate Martin Kabrhel said.

With the 6♠2♠ having been exposed, Yuhan Wang came in for a raise to 60,000 from the button and Martin Kabrhel called from the big blind.

Two checks came after the 2♣9♣10♠ flop to see the 8♠ fall on the turn. Kabrhel led out for 160,000 and Wang called.

The J♥ completed the board and Kabrhel tossed out a bet of 200,000. Wang slid out a raise to 1,200,000, which got Kabrhel to fold immediately.
