Steve O'Dwyer min-raised to 24,000 on the button and Talal Shakerchi then simply moved all-in for 282,000 out of the small blind. It folded back to O'Dwyer, who asked for a count and made the call.
Talal Shakerchi:
Steve O'Dwyer:
The dominated pair failed to connect on the board and O'Dwyer joined the chip millionaires.
Dan Smith raised to 26,000 in the cutoff and Adrian Mateos three-bet to 72,000 on the button after checking the stack size of his table neighbour. Smith came along to see the flop on which he check-folded to a bet of 57,000 by the Spaniard.
Mateos then raised to 25,000 next but let go after Rodrigo Seiji three-bet to 70,000 in the cutoff.
In the first hand coming back from the break, Henrik Hecklen bet the river for 90,000 out of the small blind. Kathy Lehne mulled it over and called to get shown for a missed straight draw, which she had beat with .
In the meanwhile over on table one, Steve O'Dwyer had raised big on the button and Fedor Holz called all-in for 130,000 in the big blind. They had to wait with the showdown as a longer hand took place on table two, too.
Heads-up to a turn, Rodrigo Seiji in the big blind checked. Daniel Dvoress bet 80,000 from under the gun and Seiji called after using a time bank. The river was checked back by Dvoress and Seiji's for two pair won the pot.
Fedor Holz:
Steve O'Dwyer:
Big stack O'Dwyer had put pressure on the two shorter stacks and Holz doubled despite a sweat on the runout.
Daniel Dvoress pushed all-in for 180,000 and won the blinds and big blind ante.
Fedor Holz raised to 30,000 from under the gun and Steve O'Dwyer called from the small blind, as did Seth Davies in the big blind. The flop was checked to Holz, who bet 30,000. Only O'Dwyer called and checked again the on the turn. Holz bet 50,000 and folded to a shove.
Over on table three, David Peters open-jammed out of the small blind into the big blind of Henrik Hecklen, who called for the last 160,000.
Henrik Hecklen:
David Peters:
Hecklen remained ahead on the flop but fell behind on the turn. The river was a blank and the final two tables were set.
Christoph Vogelsang pushed all-in for the last 140,000 he had behind and Dan Smith reraised to 300,000 from the very next seat in order to force out all opponents behind.
Christoph Vogelsang:
Dan Smith:
The dominated ace of the German had an additional sweat until the turn with the wheel draw but the river bricked to let the kicker play.
One table over, Fedor Holz scored a full double through Daniel Dvoress when his hit a set of aces. Dvoress' made aces and queens to lock up the double for Holz on the turn already.
