Nível 5 : 400/800, 100 ante

After the under-the-gun player opened for 1,800 and Jonathan Karamalikis three-bet to 4,500, Moritz Dietrich four-bet all in from the big blind for 11,925 total. The original raiser folded and Karamalikis called to put Dietrich at risk.

Dietrich:
Karamalikis:

Dietrich was ahead, but Karamalikis was drawing to two live cards. Fortunately for the man from Austria, the flop paired his ace, and he guaranteed himself the double when the turn left Karamalikis drawing dead. The meaningless was put out on the river for good measure, and then Dietrich was pushed the pot.

Nível 4 : 300/600, 75 ante

The TV cameras were swarming Table 30, and that's because they were watching Faraz Jaka take his seat in the tournament. As fate would have it, a big hand was taking place at that very table.

We picked up the action with approximately 15,000 in the pot and a board reading . Mustapha Kanit checked under the gun and Yuri Dzivielevski bet 7,000 from the button. Kanit made the call and then checked the river. Dzivielevski moved all in for his last 21,800, and Kanit tanked for nearly three minutes before tossing in a call. Dzivielevski tabled the for top pair, and it was good as Kanit sent his cards to the muck.

Meanwhile, Jason Koon busted the tournament and immediately opted to reenter.
