Christoph Vogelsang slid a pot-sized bet of 19,500 into the middle on a board showing 
after David Peters checked from the big blind.
Peters then announced all-in, putting the decision on Vogelsang for his remaining chips. Vogelsang took almost the whole 30-second clock before making the fold, while Peters recovered some lost chips.
At the same time, Mikita Badziakouski was leaving the other table after losing the rest of his short stack. The remaining seven players then combined into a single table.

Level 7
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
After Orpen Kisacikoglu made it 30,000 preflop, the action was then on Cary Katz.
"Alright I'll gamble with you," he said as he threw in calling chips.
The flop came out 
and Kisacikoglu bet a measly 5,000 into the 60,000 pot.
"This guy's milking me! That's Mikita's job!" Katz joked as he tossed in a chip.
The turn came the 
and both players checked to see the on the river.
Kisacikoglu checked to Katz, who then bet 32,500, which left him with only 2,000 behind.
This sent Kisacikoglu deep into the tank, causing him to use several of his timebanks.
"What do you have? I can give you some help." Katz chirped after a while.
Kisacikoglu then set a stack of chips in front of him to make the call and Katz flipped over 
for a bricked straight draw which left him with only seven-high. Kisacikoglu then rolled over 
for a whopping ace-high to take the massive pot.
"Wowww I guess nobody believes me anymore," Katz sighed as his chips were pushed to Kisacikoglu. Katz then proceeded to bust the very next hand to none other than Makita Badziakouski.
