"ABC poker," Cieslik replied.

"That's ABC poker?" tablemate Marian Kubis joked with Cieslik.

The J♠ turn gave Reynolds some hope with outs to the straight, but the 9♦ river was a brick.

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

Tudor Zapsa shoved the button with a dead small blind, which meant there was only Patrick White to get through in the big blind. With around 300,000 in his stack, White made the call.

Patrick White: K♣8♥ All in
Tudor Zapsa: A♥2♣

White had live cards, but the 6♠3♠A♠ flop didn't make things easy as Zapsa made top pair. Only running cards could save White, but the 7♦4♠ runout didn't give the miracle, leaving him on the sidelines.

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

Gunter Glaser raised to 35,000 in early position and Andreas Hafner moved all in for 205,000 in the cutoff. Glaser started going through the math to himself and took a minute before calling.

Andreas Hafner: Q♦Q♥ All in
Gunter Glaser: K♠Q♠

Hafner showed down two queens and was in the lead going to the flop, which came J♠6♣4♠ to give Glaser a flush draw. The turn was the J♦, while Glaser didn't hit his flush on the river, but he did connect with the K♦ to send Hafner to the rail.

Hafner laughed off the beat and snapped a photo of the board before heading to the exit. "I told you, gamble," Glaser told his tablemates after the hand.

Kai Cocklin

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

Iraklis Manikaros shoved under the gun for around 90,000 and Nadine Rohde shoved the small blind for slightly more. Rifat Palevic was in the big blind and called to both two players at risk.

Iraklis Manikaros: A♥6♥ All in
Nadine Rohde: A♠J♦ All in
Rifat Palevic: A♣K♥

Palevic had the goods and just needed to hold to score a double knockout. A flop of 2♦10♥4♠ was good for him, and it was almost all over by the time the K♠ hit the turn. Only a queen could save Rohde, but the 5♣ river wasn't it, which meant Palevic knocked out two opponents in one swoop.
