Carrel Jams and Scoops Blinds

Level 21 : 400,000/800,000, 100,000 ante

Charlie Carrel moved all in first to act and the action folded to Martin Kabrhel in the small blind. He asked for a count and Carrel's stack was counted to be at 5.75 million. Kabrhel had less than that and tried to engage in some table talk. "Do you want to gamble Charlie?" he asked before tournament staff reminded him that he cannot talk about the hand while a third player, in this case Dominik Nitsche in the big blind, is still in the hand.

Kabrhel eventually folded, as did Nitsche. "I had big suited cards, I am wondering why I didn't call," Kabrhel added and Carrel replied "Yeah, I am wondering that, too."

Small Pot for Nitsche

Level 21 : 400,000/800,000, 100,000 ante

Dominik Nitsche limped in from the small blind and Charlie Carrel checked his option in the big blind. Both players checked the {10-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{6-Hearts} flop before Nitsche min-bet the {A-Diamonds} turn for 800,000, Carrel called. The {A-Hearts} river was checked again and Nitsche announced king-high, then turned over {K-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}.

That was enough to win the pot while Carrel dropped to around 6 million.

Jacks for Eiler

Level 21 : 400,000/800,000, 100,000 ante

Martin Kabrhel raised to 6 million with 25,000 behind and Kenny Hallaert in the big blind inquired if he was all in when the Belgian was to act. "Raise to six million, I like to play post flop," Kabrhel added and Hallaert folded.

One hand later, Dominik Nitsche raised to 1.6 million and Andreas Eiler called from the big blind. On the flop of {Q-Spades}{10-Spades}{9-Hearts}, Eiler checked and Nitsche took down the pot with a continuation bet worth 2.2 million.

The next hand, Nitsche raised to 1.6 million once more and Eiler called from the small blind, Kabrhel forfeited his big blind. The flop fell {A-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{3-Clubs} and both players checked. Eiler checked and subsequently called a bet of 2.5 million by Nitsche on the {10-Clubs} turn before the {8-Hearts} river went check, check, again.

"Jacks," Eiler announced and turned over his {J-Clubs}{J-Spades} as first player after the button. Nitsche mucked and Eiler raked in the pot.

"Tough Day" for Kabrhel

Level 21 : 400,000/800,000, 100,000 ante

Martin Kabrhel limped in from the small blind and Dominik Nitsche checked his option from the big blind. The flop came {a-Spades}{8-Spades}{3-Diamonds} and Kabrhel led out for 800,000. Nitsche called and the {a-Clubs} paired the board on the turn.

Kabrhel bet another 1.1 million and Nitsche continued to call. The river was the {3-Diamonds} and Kabrhel made a huge overbet of 4.9 million. Nitsche sat in thought for a couple moments before announcing all in. Kabrhel only had around 6.2 million remaining and his tournament life would be at risk should he make the call.

After numerous attempts trying to get Nitsche to speak, Kabrhel finally said some words in German and Nitsche chuckled a bit. "I want to call but the hippo says to fold," Kabrhel said referring to his lucky hippo on top of his chips. He finally elected to fold saying, "Give him the money. This is a tough day for me!"

Small Pot for Muehloecker on the Feature Table

Level 21 : 400,000/800,000, 100,000 ante

Thomas Muehloecker raised to 1.8 million first to act over on the feature table and Mikita Badziakouski called from the big blind. The flop fell {A-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} and Badziakouski checked, then called a bet of 1.5 million by Muehloecker. Once the {2-Spades} turn paired the board, Badziakouski checked again and Muehloecker fired a second bet of 5.2 million to force a fold.

Muehloecker Wins Dramatic Flip to Double Through Vogelsang

Level 21 : 400,000/800,000, 100,000 ante

Over on the feature table, Thomas Muehloecker raised from the button and eventually four-bet all in against a three-bet of Christoph Vogelsang in the small blind.

Thomas Muehloecker: {2-Hearts}{2-Clubs}
Christoph Vogelsang: {A-Spades}{K-Spades}

The {K-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} flop left Muehloecker with two outs and running clubs in order to avoid elimination. The {A-Clubs} turn brought one club and sure enough the {4-Clubs} fell on the river. Muehloecker doubled for 22.725 million and put a dent into the stack of Vogelsang, who lost the chip lead as a result.

Hallaert Stays Alive

Level 21 : 400,000/800,000, 100,000 ante

Martin Kabrhel raised to 2.0 million from the cutoff and Kenny Hallaert moved all in for 3.675 million in the big blind. Kabrhel jokingly asked for a count but quickly called.

Kenny Hallaert: {k-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}
Martin Kabrhel: {j-Clubs}{8-Clubs}

The flop came {j-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} and Kabrhel out-flopped Hallaert with a pair of jacks. The turn was the {2-Diamonds} giving Hallaert a flush draw and the river landed the {8-Diamonds}. Hallaert completed his flush to double up at the hands of Kabrhel.

Eiler Shoves Into Kabrhel

Level 21 : 400,000/800,000, 100,000 ante

The first hand on the outer tables lasted 13 minutes and it was Andreas Eiler that eventually moved all in and forced a fold from Martin Kabrhel. What had happened? It folded to short stack Kenny Hallaert, who looked at his cards, laughed and folded. Eiler raised top 1.7 million on the button and Kabrhel three-bet to 4.8 million after some consideration, Eiler called.

On the {K-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{3-Spades} flop, Kabrhel bet 3.7 million and Eiler called before the {K-Spades} on the turn saw Kabrhel check his stack, cough and take a ship of water. "Do you have a paper with the chips?" Kabrhel asked the dealer and Dominik Nitsche joked to Hallaert "The blinds might go up on you." Kabrhel then bet 4.9 million and Eiler called.

After the {6-Clubs} river, Kabrhel checked and Eiler moved all in. Kabrhel asked for a count and folded once it was deemed to be for more than 16 million.
