Good level for
Tobias Reinkemeier – The German is doing what he does best and that is accumulating chips quietly. Reinkemeier leads the final table going into Level 3.
Bad level for
<jonathan Duhamel – The former WSOP Main Event champion may be in second place but he was almost out of this tournament. Duhamel made an uncharacteristic mistake when he five-bet into Tobias Reinkemeier with a far inferior hand, but was rewarded with a split pot.
Can Duhamel recompose himself and get back to his flawless best?
Hand of the level
Tobias Reinkemeier opened to 9,000 with 
and Talal Shakerchi called with the lowly 
. Jonathan Duhamel found the 
in the hole and he squeezed to 34,000. The action passed back to Reinkemeier and he four-bet to 82,000. Shakerchi had seen enough and he instantly folded, but Duhamel was not going away, not in the slightest. Instead he five-bet all in for 372,000 and Reinkemeier snap-called.
After playing so amazingly well throughout the heats, Duhamel’s fate rested in the hands of the poker gods after making this ill-timed moved. The 
flop kept Reinkemeier’s hand in front, and the 
turn changed nothing. Just as it looked like Duhamel would be busted out, the 
fell n the river and the pot was split.
