Patrick Ronacher: A♥K♠10♥3♠ All in
Rifat Palevic: A♣Q♣10♠2♣

Level 27 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Tobias Peters kept 100,000 chips back when he called the turn bet of 200,000 by Ersin Kanik on the 4♣3♥2♠6♠ turn. Kanik then declared all-in after the K♦ river and Peters called with the K♠Q♠J♥2♥ for two pair. Kanik only had the A♦J♣8♥7♦ and took a hit to his stack.

One hand later, Javier Francort raised to 125,000 and Kanik called on the button while Vitaliy Krzya also called in the big blind. On the A♦10♣2♠ flop, Kryza checked and Francort bet 125,000. Kanik folded and Kryza sighed, exposed the 7♣6♣6♥5♥ to fold as well.

Level 26 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Rifat Palevic limped the button, with Filippo Ragone completing from the small blind, and Alexander Hepting checking his option from the big blind.

Three checks followed the 2♥9♠7♣ flop to see the 3♥ hit the turn. Ragone checked, Hepting bet 150,000, and only Palevic called.

Hepting tossed out 250,000 on the A♣ river and Palevic quickly called. Hepting showed 10♣7♦5♦3♠ for two pair and lost the pot to Palevic's A♥8♥3♣2♠ for a higher two pair with aces up.

Level 26 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Pablo Heredia raised the button to 125,000 and Michael Braun called from the big blind.

Once the dealer fanned out the A♥2♦J♣ flop, Braun checked and Heredia bet 300,000. Braun check-jammed for around 500,000 and Heredia immediately called.

Michael Braun: A♣K♠7♠6♣ All in
Pablo Heredia: A♦K♣10♦3♣

Both players had ace-king, but Braun took the lead with two pair on the 7♣ turn. Heredia put his head in his hands in disbelief at seeing such a disastrous turn card. However, the Q♠ river was very favorable for Heredia, as he improved to a straight to win the pot, and bust Braun in 13th place.

Sascha Wilhelm: A♥A♠Q♣9♦

Carmi already left his chair on the 10♦10♠10♣ flop and the case ace came on the A♣ turn to improve Wilhelm to aces full of tens, while the 7♦ river was already a formality.

Ragone fired out 575,00 when he saw the 4♥ complete the board, and Atac immediately called.

Carmi had aces against the jacks of Palevic. Palevic picked up some extra outs on the 8♣3♦4♦ flop. He improved to flush when a 10♦ fell on the turn. Carmi couldn't fill up on the 5♥ river, and around half of his stack headed over to Palevic.

Filippo Ragone raised to 150,000 and was called by Sascha Wilhelm in the cutoff. Georgios Koliofotis in the big blind moved all-in for the last 175,000 and was called by both Ragone and Wilhelm.

On the 6♣5♠3♦ flop, Ragone check-called for 150,000 before the Q♥ turn was checked through. The K♠ fell on the river and Ragone checked once again. Wilhelm now bet 425,000 and the Italian folded.

Koliofotis tabled his A♥10♣9♣4♠ and Wilhelm dealt the final blow holding the K♥K♣J♠8♣ for a rivered set of kings.
