Christoph Vogelsang Doubles Through Ben Tollerene
Chip leader Ben Tollerene opened to 12,000 and Christoph Vogelsang moved all-in for just over ten big blinds.
The rest of the table folded and Tollerene called to try to score the knockout with [Ah9h]. He was dominated – as Vogelsang held [AdJs].
The board ran out [QcJcJhKs5d] and Vogelsang is now back to a workable stack.

Mikita Badziakouski Doubles
The short stack at the final table since his run-in with Ben Tollerene, Mikita Badziakouski just doubled to get back into contention.
After Christoph Vogelsang opened to 12,000 from under the gun, Badziakouski shoved for 73,000.
The table folded back to the German, who instantly called and tabled [9c9d].
Badziakouski held [JhJd] and the superior pocket pair held to double on the [AhQs3s2dJs] runout.

Eibinger Engages with Vogelsang
Matthias Eibinger opened to 12,000 from the button and Christoph Vogelsang defended his big blind.
Vogelsang check-called 13,000 after the [Jc8s5s] flop and checked for a second time after the [Ad] fell on the turn.
Eibinger sized up – betting 46,000 – and Vogelsang released just before he had to use an extension.
Play will continue for a few minutes and then the remaining five players will go on another break. At the other end of that recess, registration will close and Event #10 will be frozen.

Ben Tollerene Soars to Over 1.1 Million
Mikita Badziakouski raised to 11,500 from under the gun and Ben Tollerene called on the button, as did David Peters from the big blind.
The flop landed [7c5dKh], and after Peters checked, Badziakouski bet 12,000. Tollerene raised to 45,000, and Peters folded.
Badziakouski called, and when the turn fell the [7d], he check-called a bet of 120,000.
The river fell the [6s], and Badziakouski checked. Tollerene announced a wager of 360,000 and Badziakouski immediately went into the tank and used a time extension chip – his last.
With just a few seconds remaining in his additional 60 seconds, Badziakouski called.
Tollerene revealed his [AdKc] for kings-up, and Badziakouski looked back at his hand several times before sending it to the muck.

Slow, Then Vogelsang and Peters Swap Positions
After the elimination of Steve O’Dwyer, action slowed and the rest of Level 8 played out without players even seeing a river.
The start of Level 6 marks the last level to register and a few minutes into that period the two short stacks played a meaningful pot.
David Peters opened to 11,000 from under the gun and the two blinds called.
Ben Tollerene and Christoph Vogelsang checked the [8c4s3s] flop and Peters continued for 10,000.
He picked up Vogelsang as his only caller, who again checked the [Qd] turn.
Peters bet 35,000 and Vogelsang called to see the [4d] complete the board.
Both players quickly checked and Vogelsang tabled [KcQs]. His pair was good to swap positions with Peters on the leaderboard.
