Kai Cocklin

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Antonello Ferraiuolo opened from early position to 30,000 and Martin Bartos three-bet to 90,000 from the hijack. A big four-bet came in from Ferraiuolo, Bartos shoved around 350,000, and Ferraiuolo called.

Martin Bartos: A♥K♥ All in
Antonello Ferraiuolo: Q♦Q♣

It was poker's most classic flip, and it went the way of Ferraiuolo as his queens held up on the 6♠2♦3♥5♣8♦ runout, which send Bartos to the rail.

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

On a flop of 4♣5♥10♣, Fernando Banda bet 40,000 from middle position into the pot of around 150,000. Miroslav Matula called from the big blind and Mario Colavita shoved 250,000 from early position. Banda reshoved around 300,000, and Matula folded.

Mario Colavita: K♦K♣ All in
Fernando Banda: 10♠10♦

Banda had flopped a set to crush Colavita's kings, but there were still two cards to come where anything could happen. However, nothing did happen as the 3♦6♣ runout meant Colavita headed to the exit.

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

A big commotion was coming from Table #301, where four players had all their chips in the middle. Frank Bluemlein was all in for 130,000 from the small blind, Mo Xu 285,000 in the big blind, and Peteris Enders for 145,000 in middle position. Michael Jaeggi, meanwhile, was in the hijack and had all three opponents covered and at risk.

Frank Bluemlein: A♣K♥ All in
Mo Xu: A♥K♠ All in
Peteris Enders: A♦Q♠ All in
Michael Jaeggi: Q♣Q♦

Jaeggi had the lead with his pair of queens as the flop came 7♥10♣2♥, while the 10♥ turn gave Xu the nut flush draw. The river was the Q♥ and Jaeggi improved to a full house to scoop the pot, letting out a loud cry in celebration as several players snapped photos of the board.

"Nice hand," Bluemlein said.

"Nice dealer," Jaeggi added.

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Nico Adomeit opened to 90,000 from the cutoff, leaving himself around 210,000 behind.

Action folded to Lulei Hu in the big blind, who asked to see Adomeit's remaining stack, before three-bet jamming with the covering stack. Adomeit quickly moved the rest of his stack into the middle.

Nico Adomeit: A♠Q♠ All in
Lulei Hu: A♥A♦

Adomeit had run into a monster, and there was no escape on the J♦10♠2♣J♥8♥ runout, despite flopping a gutshot. Hu moves over the 1.5 million mark.

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Frank Niermann opened to 40,000 from early position, and received calls from Christian Schneider in middle position, and Dmytro Fedorov and Hueseyin Selcuk in the blinds.

Action was checked to Niermann on the J♥J♠9♠ flop, and he moved all in for 125,000.

Much to his relief, all three of his opponents sent their cards to the muck after a period of deliberation.

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Fernando Banda opened the cutoff to 40,000 and Aiguo Xu shoved 230,000 from the big blind. Banda thought for around 20 seconds before he flicked in the call.

Aiguo Xu: K♥9♠ All in
Fernando Banda: 5♥5♦

Xu found himself in a flip, but couldn't connect with the 3♥8♦6♣Q♠Q♦ board, which meant he headed to the payout desk to claim his money.
