Nivel 19
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
PokerNews joined the action as Jan Handula went all in from the big blind with 63,000, facing calls from Alexander Brandl in the cutoff and Mitra Bapir on the button.
The players checked all the way to the river on a board of J♥J♦8♣8♥5♠. On the river, Brandl bet 80,000, but Bapir opted to fold. Handula seemed resigned to his fate, and the showdown confirmed it: Brandl revealed 5♣5♦ for a full house, while Handula's A♣K♥ was only ace high. Handula was eliminated, while Brandl added a significant boost to his stack.
