Gerald Karlic

Hand #15: Toby Joyce got a walk.

Hand #16: Matthias Lipp raised to 110,000 with A 6 on the button and won the pot.

Hand #17: Jun Obara bumped it up to 110,000 with A J from the hijack and Gerald Karlic three-bet A 7 to 380,000 from the big blind.

Obara, not to pushed around, four-bet to 750,000. Karlic deliberated for a while, and then decided that aggression was his only option as he five-bet ripped it, covering Obara. Obara snap-folded with 1,900,000 left in his stack, and Karlic took down another pot preflop.

Hand #18: Karlic opened the small blind to 160,000 and Nguyen Huu Dung defended 8 4 from the big blind.

Both players checked the T 8 Q flop to see the A on the turn. Two more checks followed and the 6 completed the board.

Another round of checks came and Karlic showed 9 5 for nine-high. Dung showed 8 4 for a pair of eights to win the pot.
