Berthold Winz limped in from the cutoff and Anton Kraous raised to 2,000,000 from the button, leaving 1,600,000 behind. Winz made the call.

On the Q?4?2? flop Winz shoved with a covering stack. Kraous thought for about two minutes before deciding to fold, leaving himself with just under five big blinds while Winz extended his lead over the rest of the field.

Action folded to Jan-Eric Schwippert in the small blind, who jammed for 4,575,000. Grzegorz Kozieja in the big blind asked for a count with the covering stack, and then made the quick call.

Jan-Eric Schwippert: Q?6? All in
Grzegorz Kozieja: A?9?

Schwippert needed some help, and got it after the Q?Q?J? flop gave him trip queens. The 10? turn brought a sweat as it gave Kozieja a straight draw, but the 6? river improved Schwippert to a full house, sending him the double-up.

Berthold Winz opened to 1,050,000 from the hijack and Anton Kraous called from the cutoff.

Winz checked on the 9? turn and Kraous bet 2,500,000. Winz made the call.

Both players checked the 5? river. Kraous showed a pair of tens with 10?10? which was enough to take down a colossal pot while cutting Kraous' stack roughly in half.

Anton Kraous opened to 500,000 in early position and was met with a three-bet jam to 2,200,000 by Jan-Eric Schwippert from the cutoff. Action folded back to Kraous, who called.

Jan-Eric Schwippert: K?K? All in
Anton Kraous: A?8?

Schwippert looked set for a double-up with pocket kings, and although the 5?3?2? flop gave Kraous extra outs to the straight, the 3?5? turn and river were bricks.
