[user228332]
Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Preflop Scott "AggroSantos" Margereson raised it up under the gun to 3,200. Ukranian player "Ender112" shoved all in for 35,422 from the cutoff, and Margereson called it off with {7-Clubs}{7-Hearts}. They were flipping against the {K-Spades}{10-Spades} of Ender112, but the board ran out {K-Diamonds}{A-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{A-Hearts}, and the pot was shipped to the Ukranian.

Margereson did not slow down, however, and won the following two pots off "myhometown" to get to 53,469 chips.

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

Niklas "tutten7" Astedt came out with guns blazing after the break and immediately took down a few pots, and now the Swedish player has a knock out to his name.

Astedt: {K-Diamonds}{K-Spades}

Astedt was well ahead, and as the board ran out {J-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{7-Spades}{3-Hearts}{8-Spades}, the Swede could rake in the pot of 27,816 chips.
