Loeser Doesn't Lose Against Troyanovskiy

Level 12 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Manig Loeser raised to 145,000 from the button and was called by Vladimir Troyanovskiy in the big blind.

The flop came {4-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}, Troyanovskiy check-called the 110,000 bet of Loeser.

They both checked through the {k-Spades} on the turn to the {J-Diamonds} on the river. Troyanovskiy bet 290,000 without much thinking but Loeser needed some more time to take a decision. He didn't look too happy about Troyanovskiy's bet. In the end. Loeser grabbed calling chips and called. Troyanovskiy turned around the {Q-Clubs}{7-Spades} for a bluff and Loeser quickly tabled his {5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} to take down the pot.

Leonard Gets Short

Level 12 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Patrick Leonard raised to 125,000 on the button and picked up a call by Patrik Antonius in the big blind. On the {A-Spades}{9-Clubs}{4-Spades} flop, Antonius check-raised from 75,000 to 200,000 and Leonard clicked it back to 325,000. Antonius called and the {4-Diamonds} turn went check, check.

After the {7-Spades} river, Antonius checked and Leonard took a final stab at taking down the pot without showdown with a bet of 350,000. Antonius took one minute before calling and Leonard sent his cards into the muck with a smile on the face, while Antonius tabled {A-Hearts}{8-Hearts}.

Pidun Busts to Becker

Level 12 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Johannes Becker raised to 135,000 on the button and Dominik Nitsche defended his big blind. Both players checked the {J-Clubs}{10-Spades}{8-Hearts} flop and the {9-Spades} turn. On the {7-Hearts} river, Nitsche bet 400,000m and Becker folded.

The very next hand, Becker raised to 135,000 in the cutoff and Daniel Pidun moved all in from the button for 1,150,000. Becker gave it some thought and called.

Daniel Pidun: {A-Hearts}{10-Spades}
Johannes Becker: {K-Spades}{J-Spades}

The {K-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{3-Hearts} flop improved Becker to a pair of kings, and he kept the lead with the {2-Spades} turn and {5-Diamonds} river to send Pidun to the rail.

Nowak Wins a Small One

Level 11 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Patrik Antonius raised to 110,000 from the cutoff and was called by Jean-Noel Thorel and Renato Nowak in the blinds.

They all checked through the {a-Spades}{7-Hearts}{6-Hearts} on the flop to the {5-Spades} on the turn. Thorel bet 125,000 and both Nowak and Antonius called.

The river completed the board with the {j-Diamonds} on which they all checked again. Thorel tabled {J-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for a pair of jacks but Nowak had {6-Spades}{7-Spades} for the flopped two pair of sevens and sixes which was enough to take the whole pot.

Thorel Involved in Action

Level 11 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

The seat that formerly belonged to Rob Yong is now empty and the Dusk Till Dawn founder has been eliminated.

One table over, Jean-Noel Thorel was involved in two hands of which he won and lost one each. First it was Arne Ruge that check-called a bet of 200,000 by Thorel on the {8-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} turn before moving all in after the {7-Diamonds} river on the big blind. Thorel glanced over to Ruge's stack and let go.

One hand later, Thorel raised to 110,000 and Patrick Leonard called on the button. Thorel bet the {J-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} flop for 225,000 and was called before a second barrel on the {Q-Diamonds} turn did the trick to force a fold from Leonard.

Simao Doubles O'Dwyer Up

Level 11 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Joao Simao raised to 100,000 from late position, Steve O'Dwyer shoved all in for 870,000 from the cutoff. Everyone else folded so the action was back on Simao. Simao confirmed the amount again and then counted out calling chips. He had another few seconds to think and ended up calling.

Steve O'Dwyer: {7-Hearts}{7-Spades}
Joao Simao: {A-Spades}{10-Spades}

The flop came {J-Spades}{k-Clubs}{3-Clubs} to give Simao a straight draw. The turn brought them the {6-Spades} to add a flush draw to the draw Simao already had. The river, however, was a brick with the {J-Clubs} and O'Dwyer's sevens held for the double-up.
