Rene von Reden

Hand #21: Mikael Andersson raised to 350,000 from the button. Rene von Reden three-bet jammed the big blind for 1,900,000, causing Andersson to go into the tank. After giving it some thought, Andersson called.

Rene von Reden: K Q

Mikael Andersson: A 6

Andersson was slightly ahead with ace-high, but anything could happen with five cards to come.

The A 4 J flop was great for Andersson as he paired his ace to take a huge lead.

A 2 on the turn left von Reden on the brink of elimination, but the T came on the river to save him, giving him a Broadway straight.

Von Reden put his hands to his head in disbelief as he managed to keep the APT High Roller eight-handed.

Hand #22: Andersson raised to 350,000 with K 5 from the cutoff and Nirunrut Rachburom defended 6 4 from the big blind.

Rachburom check-called a bet of 550,000 from Andersson on the 4 4 6 flop.

The K hit the turn and Rachburom checked again. Andersson slid out a bet of 650,000, and was met by a check-jam all in from Rachburom for 2,200,000. Andersson folded.
