Grzegorz Derkowski

Grzegorz Derkowski raised from the cutoff and picked up calls by Rishi Bhasin on the button and Martin Wendt in the big blind. The flop fell {6-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{2-Hearts} and the action checked to Bhasin, who bet 7,000. Wendt folded while Derkowski check-raised to 22,000. Bhasin moved all in and was snap-called.

Rishi Bhasin: {9-Hearts}{6-Hearts}
Grzegorz Derkowski: {2-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}

The {2-Spades} turn improved Derkowski to unbeatable quads, and the {J-Hearts} river was a blank.

Wohlgemuth Doubles

Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Toni Vardjavand raised from the button and Jakob Madsen defended from the big blind. On the {Q-Spades}{7-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} turn, Madsen checked and faced a bet of 21,000 by Vardjavand. Madsen check-raised all in for 95,000 and that forced a fold.

Jonas Wohlgemuth raised to 5,500 in the small blind and Federik Jensen called from the big blind. On the {Q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} flop, Wohlgemuth bet 6,000 and Jensen called before the German shoved the {8-Spades} turn. Jensen reluctantly called with {10-}{6-} for second pair, while Wohlgemuth had the dominating {A-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}. The {8-Diamonds} river was a blank and Wohlgemuth doubled to 100,000, while Jensen dropped to 125,000.
