Niveau 28
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Bogdan Jontulovic opened to 240,000 under the gun and Mehmet Demirkol called from the big blind with 295,000 behind.
When the flop came down 6?7?Q? Demirkol slid his 295,000 across the line and Jontulovic beat him into the pot.
Mehmet Demirkol: 2?2? 
Bogdan Jontulovic: 6?6?
Demirkol was way behind with deuces to the flopped set of Jontulovic and could only win with running cards. The 7? turn left Demirkol drawing dead to the boat of Jontulovic as an inconsequential K? landed on the river.
Demirkol managed to ladder up a few spots on the pay ladder but headed to the cashier's desk to collect his sixth-place payout.
