Niklas "tutten7" Astedt Finds Queen to Bust Short Stack

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 350 ante

Niklas "tutten7" Astedt opened the pot with a raise to 6,750, and called when British player "OMGsete" jammed 30,232 from the very next seat. Astedt's {A-Spades}{Q-Spades} was behind the {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades} of his opponent, and that did not change on the {J-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} flop.

The turn {Q-Diamonds} put the Swede in front, but Astedt still needed to dodge tens, kings and diamonds.

The river {2-Spades}, and "OMGsete" hit the rail, while Astedt could rake in the pot

Simon "Isildur1337x" Mattson Loses Pot for the Chiplead

Level 14 : 1,250/2,500, 300 ante

Germany's "Pimmelspeck" made it 5,250 from the cutoff, before Simon "Isildur1337x" Mattson three-bet to 12,750 out of the small blind. With action back on "Pimmelspeck" the German reraised to 26,500, before Mattson ultimately shoved all-in for a total of 135,169. "Pimmelspeck" called off his 120,092 to create a massive pot of 244,784 chips - enough to send Mattson in the chiplead.

The {6-Diamonds}{6-Spades} of Matsson needed to improve against the {K-Hearts}{K-Spades} of his opponent, but it was not to be as the board ran out {7-Clubs}{J-Spades}{3-Spades}{2-Clubs}{5-Hearts}. "Pimmelspeck" scooped the massive pot, and left the Swede with just a handful of big blinds.

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante
Ole Schemion
Ole Schemion

Ole "olekonjole" Schemion opened the pot to 3,200 from the hijack, before countryman "der_bomber66" in the big blind reraised to 9,200. Schemion called.

The flop came down {Q-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{7-Hearts}, and while "der_bomber66" checked his option, Schemion bet out 8,000 and was called.

Turn {K-Hearts} prompted another check to Schemion, who this time shoved all-in for 26,637. "der_bomber66" wasted no time calling with {A-Clubs}{A-Spades}, and needed to dodge any club and any jack to beat the {9-Clubs}{10-Clubs} of Schemion.

The river was the {Q-Diamonds}, and Schemion left the tournament in 73rd place. Seconds later Roman "Romeopro33" Romanovskyi followed suit. 68 players remain, and late registration is closing in just five minutes.
