Level 22
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Three-handed on a flop of 2?9?A?, Martin Ryan bet 175,000 from the hijack and Petr Targa called in the small blind, while big blind Aleksej Grenz folded.
Both players checked the K? turn before Ryan bet another 600,000 on the 6? river. Targa quickly called and Ryan snap-mucked, allowing Targa to take the big pot without a showdown.
At the same time, Omar Eljach busted Edis Becic with a pair of kings on a board of 7?J?4?J?10?, with Becic holding only a seven for an inferior two pair.
"Even a donkey picks up a hand every once in a while," Eljach said.
"At some point this is cheating. People are starting to complain," Sebastian Langrock said from another table.
