G��l��nay Doubles Up Through McDonald

On a {K-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{3-Spades} flop, Andreas G��l��nay checks, McDonald bets 160k and gets a call. On the {J-Spades} turn, G��l��nay goes all-in and McDonald starts talking.

"I was bluffing the flop, but I think I have you," says McDonald and calls showing {A-Clubs}{J-Hearts} which is way ahead of Andreas' {6-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}. The river comes {5-Hearts} and G��l��nay wins the monster pot to take over the lead.

G��l��nay screams, "I love poker!" to the excited crowd.

Harder than Steel

This is the fourth season of the European Poker Tour and for the first time ever a player has managed to reach two final tables in a row. Christian Harder finished seventh in the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure in the Bahamas three weeks ago. Now he's matched that performance by reaching the final table in Dortmund as well. Truly a great achievement. Christian starts out the final day sixth in chips.
