Nível 20 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

The action folded around to Chance Kornuth in the small blind who shoved all in for 2,485,000. Leon Sturm was in the big blind and after he received the count, he tossed in a chip to signify a call.

Chance Kornuth: A♣K♣ All in
Leon Sturm: K♠J♥

Kornuth flopped top pair on the A♥2♥10♥ board but wouldn't have felt comfortable as the reigning champion Sturm picked up a flush draw.

That flush draw wouldn't come to fruition as the 3♦ turn and 9♦ river kept Kornuth's pair of aces in the lead which doubled him up.

Nível 20 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Martin Kabrhel raised to 320,000 from the cutoff and Sergio Aido shoved all in from the small blind for around 10,000,000. Kabrhel, who had around 2,500,000 chips behind, still demanded a count from Aido. Eventually, Kabrhel made the call.

Sergio Aido: A♥Q♥

Aido was propelled into the lead on the A♠7♠A♣ flop as he improved to trips, which left Kabrhel drawing to just two outs.

The 5♥ turn was no help to Kabrhel, and Aido boated up on the 5♦ river to win the pot.

Jesse Lonis raised to 250,000 from the cutoff and Leon Sturm defended from the big blind.

Sturm checked the K♠7♣K♣ flop to which Lonis fired a continuation-bet of 120,000. Sturm check-raised to 400,000 and Lonis called.

Sturm bet 490,000 when the J♣ came on the turn. Lonis counted out the chips and made the call.

When the dealer put out the Q♣ on the river, Sturm opted to check. Lonis now fired out a bet of 1,050,000. Sturm used multiple time extensions before electing to fold and forfeit the pot to Lonis.

Lonis flipped over A♦4♦ for a stone bluff and said "I always show my bluffs."
