Niveau 13 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Brian Rast moved all in for his last 455,000 from early position and Dan Smith made the call from middle position, committing just under half of his stack. Action folded back to Chris Brewer in the big blind who moved all in himself, covering both players. A frustrated Smith folded and Rast was all in at risk against Brewer.

Brian Rast: 6♦6♥
Chris Brewer: J♠J♥

The board ran out 8♣Q♠4♥Q♦4♦ and Brewer took down a huge pot while eliminating Rast three spots shy of the money.

Niveau 13 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Jans Arends opened on the button and Justin Bonomo in the small blind responded with a three-bet to 700,000. The big blind got out of the way to send the action back to Arends, who chose to ship the remainder of his stack. Bonomo, after some thought, called to put his opponent at risk.

Jans Arends: J♣J♥
Justin Bonomo: A♠10♥

Arends was in a good spot to secure a crucial double on the soft bubble and did just that after the board ran out 2♣4♦9♣8♣7♣, much to the disappointment of the rest of the field.

Niveau 13 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Action was picked up just before the flop was dealt out, with Justin Bonomo having bet from the cutoff and called when Kristen Foxen three-bet.

Bonomo checked the 2♣J♦J♠ flop and Foxen bet 150,000. Bonomo check-raised to 350,000 and Foxen made the call.

The turn came the 9♠ and Bonomo bet 300,000. Foxen called.

On the A♠ river Bonomo moved all in, covering Foxen who had just under 600,000 behind. Foxen used one time bank while considering her options before opting to fold. Bonomo was awarded a large pot, bringing his stack just past the five million mark.

Niveau 13 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Picking up the action after the flop, Micah Raskin in early position was involved in a hand with Anton Morgenstern in the big blind. With the board reading 5♣4♠7♣ Morgenstern was all in and at risk.

Anton Morgenstern: 4♦4♣
Micah Raskin: 7♥7♦

Raskin had Morgenstern on the ropes, needing running clubs or the case four to survive. The K♥ turn left Morgenstern drawing to a single out. With action finished at the two other tables, many players flocked around as the dealer flipped over the 4♥ to send Raskin leaping out of his seat in frustration while Morgenstern raked in the pot smiling sheepishly.

Niveau 13 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

In another preflop all in confrontation, Leon Sturm had Philip Sternheimer all in and at risk for his tournament life two away from the money.

Philip Sternheimer: A♠A♣
Leon Sturm: A♦3♦

Sternheimer was well ahead with pocket rockets but the 5♦10♦10♥ flop gave Sturm many outs to eliminate his opponent. Luckily for Sternheimer the turn came the 6♣ and the river came the 6♥ allowing him to receive a full double up at the expense of Sturm.

Niveau 13 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Bill Klein opened to 90,000 from the cutoff before Micah Raskin moved all in for 395,000 on the button. Once the blinds folded, Klein quickly called to put Raskin at risk.

Micah Raskin: Q♦Q♣
Bill Klein: A♥Q♠

Raskin was in good shape to double up, that is until the flop came A♦9♦5♠ to leave him drawing very thin. The 9♠ turn changed nothing with the J♥ river confirming Raskin's exit short of the money after suffering back to back bad beats.

Niveau 13 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Action was picked up on the 6♥K♠2♣ flop with approximately 180,000 in the middle. Chance Kornuth was heads up against Alex Foxen.

Foxen check-called an 80,000 bet from Kornuth. Both players checked the 7♠ turn.

The river came the J♣ and Foxen bet 700,000, enough to put Kornuth all in. Kornuth glanced over at the other table to eye the short stacks and used two time extension chips while contemplating his decision. Ultimately he put in the call and was at risk.

Chance Kornuth: A♥A♣
Alex Foxen: K♦2♦

Kornuth's pocket rockets had gone up in flames against the flopped two pair of Foxen. With his elimination, the money bubble has burst and the remaining 19 players are guaranteed at least a min-cash of $81,983.

Niveau 13 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Picking up the action on the river, Justin Saliba from under the gun was involved in a hand with Jans Arends on the button. With the board reading 4♥J♦4♣9♠Q♦ Saliba checked, prompting Arends to move all in. Saliba quickly called with the effective stack, tabling KxQx. It was no good, however, as Arends held K♦10♦ for the rivered straight to send Saliba to the rail in 19th place.

Kristen Foxen moved all in from early position for her last 170,000 and Jans Arends made the call to put her at risk.

Kristen Foxen: A♣9♠
Jans Arend: 5♣5♠

Foxen was ahead on the J♠7♥9♦ flop but Arends hit a set on the 5♥ turn to leave her drawing dead. The K♦ river was inconsequential and Arends sent another player to the rail.
