Nível 39 : Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante

Leon Tsoukernik is a man of many talents. To some, he is an astute businessman who built Europe's largest cardroom at King's Resort, Rozvadov. To others, Tsoukernik is an art dealer with an unrivaled eye for detail. But under his many layers, Tsoukernik is a poker player with a penchant for high-stakes cash games and tournaments.

The fact Tsoukernik has more than $5.3 million in recorded live cashes, placing him third in the Czech Republic's all-time money list (according to The Hendon Mob) is a testament to his ability at the poker table. The King's Resort supremo trails only Martin Staszko, who banked more than $5.4 million for his runner-up finish in the 2011 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event, and the polarizing Martin Kabrhel, who has almost seven-times as many in the money finishes as Tsoukernik. Not bad for a poker-playing businessman.

Nível 38 : Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

Ermanno Di Nicola opened to 1,200,000 with K♥5♥ first to act, and Angelo Marrone defended his big blind with Q♠10♣.

The Q♦6♣2♥ flop checked through to the 9♣ turn. Marrone checked once more, and Di Nicola bet 1,800,000, which was called.

Marrone checked for a third time on the J♦ river, and Di Nicola sized up to 4,200,000. Marrone, who had the best hand, jolted back into his chair and began to mull over his options. The bet was worth around half of his remaining chips. Marrone made the correct call and collected the massive pot as he celebrated with his rail.

Marrone has had quite the final day, as he entered bottom in chips and is now in the upper echelons of the counts.
