Andria Gogelidze and Robin Berggren were heads up on a flop of J♦10♣7♠. With 420,000 in the pot, Berggren bet 140,000 from the small blind. Gogelidze then announced a raise just before his shot clock ran out.
However, as he had not stated an amount, his raise was ruled as the minimum raise, much to his disagreement. Berggren then three-bet to 480,000, which Gogelidze called.
Berggren appeared to slow down on the 6♦ turn as he checked. Gogelidze bet 275,000, after which Berggren jammed all in, covering Gogelidze.
Gogelidze snap folded, leaving himself 680,000 behind. Berggren, on the other hand, crossed the two-million mark and solidified his position as table chipleader.
Martin Zamani opened to 85,000 from the hijack and Daniel Rezaei defended his big blind.
The action checked through to the river for the board to read A♦5♦5♣6♣J♦.
Rezaei eyed up Zamani's stack of around 700,000 and moved all in as the bigger stack. Zamani went into the tank, using some time banks before sticking in the call.
"Flush," said Rezaei who tabled 10♦4♦. Zamani had A♥8♦ and headed away from the table after exchanging some pleasantries with his opponent.
Rachid El Yaacoubi raised to 50,000 in middle position before Frederik Thiemer reraised to 200,000 in the hijack, leaving just one 5,000 chip behind. El Yaacoubi then moved all in. "Back to school or staying?" El Yaacoubi joked with the youthful-looking Thiemer, who used up a few time banks until tossing in his last chip.
Frederik Thiemer: A♠Q♦
Rachid El Yaacoubi: K♠10♦
The board ran out 8♥6♦5♥6♥J♦ and Thiemer held on with ace-high to earn a double up.
With two players seeing a board of 8♥9♣5♥5♦ and around 150,000 in the middle Fabian Gumz bet 55,000 from the big blind and Steffen Endres called from middle position.
Gumz bet another 55,000 on the 3♥ river. Endres raised to 185,000 and Gumz snap-folded.
Pavel Svach opened to 60,000 from the hijack and Dietrich Fast called from the small blind.
Fast check-raised to 125,000 over a bet of 35,000 on the A♦8♣J♥ flop and was called.
Fast fired out 210,000 on the 9♠ turn, leaving him with 600,000 behind. Svach then put Fast all-in, with the latter not thrilled with the spot. Fast mulled over his options and called for his tournament life.
"Ah bluff," said Svach as he saw Fast commit his stack.
Dietrich Fast: A♣8♦
Pavel Svach: 8♥4♠
Fast had aces and eights and had Svach drawing dead. The 3♣ river completed the board.
