Level 27 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Teemu Jaatinen raised to 240,000 and Gerald Karlic defended the big blind to the 10♥4♠4♣ flop. Karlic check-raised from 120,000 to 520,000 and Jaatinen stuck around to the 8♥ turn. Another check by Karlic then saw Saatinen bet 425,000 and Karlic folded.

Jaatinen raised to 240,000 in the next hand, Catalin Pop on the button and short stack Dimitrios Gkatzas in the big blind called. The 8♣7♥2♠ flop was checked to Pop, who bet 225,000. Gkatzas called and Jaatinen sent his cards into the muck.

No betting action came with the Q♠ turn and Gkatzas made it 225,000 to go on the 6♣ river with just 445,000 behind. That was enough to win the pot as Pop also surrendered.

Dimitrios Gkatzas raised to 240,000 in the cutoff and Max Neugebauer and Daniel Pidun came along in the blinds.

Gkatzas continued for 300,000 on the 9♦5♣3♠ flop and only Pidun called. The turn was the 2♣ and Gkatzas bet another 700,000. Pidun again called.

The river was the 9♠ and Pidun slid forward a tower of chips to put Gkatzas all in. Gkatzas let out a deep sigh and quickly folded. Pidun threw 7♣4♦ into the middle of the table and dragged in the big pot.

"I had six-eight," Gkatzas said.

Level 27 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

The action folded to Jonas Lauck on the button, and he declared all-in. Catalin Pop in the small blind asked for an exact count and then placed a single chip for the call from the small blind when it was deemed to be for 1,760,000.

Jonas Lauck: 7♠7♦ All in
Catalin Pop: A♥J♥

The pocket pair remained ahead on the 6♣5♦2♥ flop and K♠ turn. However, the bad news for Lauck came with the J♣ river, and he left the outer table with a "Good luck, guys," before collecting €52,400 for his efforts.

Dimitrios Gkatzas raised to 240,000 from the hijack and only Catalin Pop called from the big blind.

The K♥ fell on the river and Pop decided to check. Gkatzas fired out 550,000 and Pop quickly called.

Gkatzas immediately mucked his cards, which meant Pop pulled in the pot without having to show.

Level 27 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Matthias Gude raised K♠K♦ to 300,000 from the button, and Claudio Di Giacomo defended 9♠8♥ from the big blind.

Di Giacomo checked to Gude on the 3♠7♦10♣ flop, and Gude fired out for 250,000. Di Giacomo made the call.

The 6♣ on the turn saw Di Giacomo lead out for 700,000 with his nut straight, and Gude raise to 1,800,000. Di Giacomo jammed, covering Gude, and Gude went into the tank.

Gude had 2,340,000 remaining in his stack and burned through some of his time banks before opting to toss his pocket kings into the muck.
