Level 26 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Upon completion of Level 26, the final 13 players were sent on the next scheduled 15-minute break during which the two tables will be switched once again for the live stream.

Nothing major happened in the last few hands on the outer table. Ivan Banic won the blinds twice with a raise to 200,000, and Matthias Gude then did so when he opened to 225,000 in the cutoff.

Bastian Gallitzendoerfer raised to 220,000 first to act, earning folds all around. He was then in the big blind and defended when Banic raised to 200,000 on the button. Gallitzendoerfer checked the A♣10♣5♥ flop and instantly folded to a bet of 110,000.

Level 26 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Daniel Pidun made it 200,000 to go from early position before Jonas Lauck three-bet the hijack to 525,000. Pidun continued with a call when the action got back to him.

A low flop of 7♥6♠3♥ came out and Pidun checked the action over to Lauck, who tossed out a bet of 450,000. Pidun jammed for 2,565,000 and Lauck snap-called.

Daniel Pidun: 7♠7♣ All in
Jonas Lauck: K♠K♣

Pidun had taken the lead with a set of sevens on the flop, and only a king would see him bust.

The 2♣ on the turn didn't change anything, and neither did the 9♦ river. Pidun doubled to 6,400,000 and Lauck as left with around seven big blinds.
