Bicknell Back In; Registration Closed

Level 13 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Two players bought back in, one of which was Kristen Bicknell. She sat back down on the same table but different seat and joked over to Kenny Hallaert "you always take my chips."

The second addition to the field has not shown up yet, while Moritz Dietrich is the dominating chip leader on 800,000. Ismael Bojang next to him has one tenth of that, while the registration has closed.

Back-To-Back For Benoit

Level 12 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Benoit moves all-in for Andreas Eiler's effective stack
Benoit moves all-in for Andreas Eiler's effective stack

Andreas Eiler raised from early position to 7,500, picking up Benjamin Benoit, who very recently doubled through Eiler, and Pierre Neuville from the small blind.

Neuville checked the {k-Hearts}{8-Spades}{5-Hearts} flop, with Eiler putting in an 11,500 continuation bet. Benoit quickly called, as Neuville got out of the way. The {2-Clubs} hit the turn, which both players checked. Eiler also checked the {7-Clubs} river, prompting Benoit to move all-in for effectively 102,000.

Eiler quickly folded, his frustration visible to the other players at the table. Benoit showed good sportsmanship, and revealed his {7-Spades}{7-Hearts} saying "see, you made a good fold."

Ensan and Bicknell Eliminated in Quick Succession

Level 12 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Kristen Bicknell

Hossein Ensan moved all in from the button for his last 38,000 and Maxi Lehmanski reshoved from one seat over with the superior stack.

Hossein Ensan: {K-Spades}{8-Spades}
Maxi Lehmanski: {A-Spades}{10-Diamonds}

The {A-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} flop left Ensan in desperate shape, and it was all over after the {6-Clubs} turn to make the {3-Hearts} river a formality.

Moments later, Kristen Bicknell was all in for 39,400 from early position and Kenny Hallaert called on the button.

Kristen Bicknell: {4-Spades}{4-Diamonds}
Kenny Hallaert: {A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}

The partypoker pro was happy to have a flip, but Hallaert took the lead on the {A-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{8-Hearts} flop. The {J-Spades} turn left Bicknell with two outs, and Hallaert even improved to a full house on the {A-Hearts} river. "I can still re-enter," Bicknell said as the time for level 12 runs down momentarily.

The talk Busts; Grospellier Chips Up

Level 12 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

The Talk sent his stack over to Benjamin Benoit while Bertrand Grospellier also chipped up slightly. Grospellier raised to 6,500 and was called by Philipp Gruissem, Fabrice Halleux on the button and Van Tiep Nguyen in the big blind. All four players checked the {8-Spades}{6-Spades}{4-Spades} flop and the {9-Spades} turn. Grospellier bet the {2-Clubs} river and that forced folds all the way.

A Big Double for Benoit

Level 12 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Anatoly Filatov raised to 7,000 and Andreas Eiler three-bet to 18,000 from the button. Benjamin Benoit in the small blind clicked it up to 36,500 and Filatov quickly folded. Eiler moved all in and Benoit tossed in a single chip for the call, and Eiler said "good luck" before both players bumped fists.

Benjamin Benoit: {Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs}
Andreas Eiler: {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts}

The flop of {J-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} changed nothing much, but Benoit didn't want to see a queen now. Both the {8-Spades} turn and the {6-Diamonds} river were blanks and Benoit doubled for 163,300.

Hanna Can't Beat Dietrich

Level 12 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Moritz Dietrich continues to run hot and increase his lead at the top of the leader board. In one of the latest hands, he faced Scott Hanna and the latter called a bet of 20,000 on the river of a board {K-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{6-Clubs}. Dietrich showed {8-Hearts}{5-Hearts} and the two pair won the pot.

Joseph Oren shoved the turn {8-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{9-Clubs} for 51,700 and his sole opponent Jan Mach eventually folded, having covered the all in of Oren by more than three times.

Below are further assorted chip counts of the High Rollers.

Filatov Flushes Neuville

Level 12 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

The turn showed {8-Hearts}{8-Spades}{5-Spades}{J-Hearts} and there were around 50,000 already in the middle. Anatoly Filatov faced a big bet by Pierre Neuville, covering his remaining chips by far. "You have an eight or a flush draw," Filatov said to Neuville and eventually called all in. Neuville replied "yes I do" and both players turned over their cards.

Anatoly Filatov: {A-Hearts}{5-Hearts}
Pierre Neuville: {10-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}

The {4-Hearts} on the river came to the rescue for Filatov, who improved to a flush and doubled for 58,700. Robin Hegele was less fortunate and was spotted on the way out at almost the same time.

Lehmanski Doubles Back

Level 12 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Lehmanski doubles back up through Sander van Wesemael
Lehmanski doubles back up through Sander van Wesemael

After only just finding himself on the wrong side of a coin flip, Maxi Lehmanski was all-in again, this time from the button unopened for 40,300. It was Sander van Wesemael who would take Lehmanski on again, making the call from the small blind, while Paul Michaelis folded his big blind.

Lehmanski was behind and at risk with {a-Hearts}{10-Spades} versus van Wesemael's {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}. It looked as good as over when van Wesemael hit a set in the window on a {q-Hearts}{3-Spades}{j-Spades} flop, but Lehmanski found the miracle {k-Diamonds} on the turn to give him broadway. Lehmanski just needed to fade the pair-up, and did so when the {8-Hearts} bricked the river. He doubles back up through van Wesemael, leaving them both with roughly the same stack size.
