Roberto Romello Eliminated in 13th Place (€8,700)

Patrick Cole

Level 17 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Aliaksei Boika opened from under the gun to 40,000. Damian Salas called from early position. Roberto Romanello then went all in for 310,000 from the cutoff. Boika folded and Salas made the call.

Roberto Romanello: A♦Q♦ All in
Damian Salas: 9♠9♦

The flop provided both players a piece but it was Salas who hit a set on 9♥A♣8♠. The J♣ turn provided Romanello with some straight outs but Romanello couldn't get there on the 3♠ river.

Martirosian Bubbles, Pulls €50K Bounty

Josh Noy

Level 17 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Artur Martirosian opened to 45,000 from under the gun before Vicente Delgado three-bet to 135,000.

Martirosian clicked it back to 270,000 and Delgado called to the 10♣10♥7♠ flop. Martirosian led out for 120,000 and was called to the 7♥ turn.

Martirosian checked and Delgado fired 175,000. Martirosian used two time banks before making the call. The dealer revealed the 5♥ river, and Martirosian checked one last time.

Delgado bet enough to put Martirosian all in, sending his opponent into the tank. Martirosian used his final four time bank cards before making the call.

Delgado showed A♠A♦, while Martirosian could only show A♣K♣ to exit in 14th place. He did earn a significant payday thought, pulling a €50,000 bounty before exiting the tournament room — that's better than fourth-place money.

Roman Hrabec: 4♣4♦ All in
Vicente Delgado: A♠J♠

The 10♠A♦7♥ flop put Delgado in a commanding lead. The 5♥ turn was no help to Hrabec, nor was the 8♦ river.

Antoine Labat: K♥Q♥

Delgado Claims Abandoned Bounty

Patrick Cole

Level 14 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

The bounty of Pedro Chaves and his remaining 2,000 chips had moved three times before being forced all in from the small blind. Chaves had abandoned his remaining chips prior to the first table move, thinking he had already been eliminated.

"This is the craziest thing I've ever seen" remarked Bert Stevens.

Yauheni Tsiareshchanka opened from under the gun to 10,000. Vicente Delgado called to his direct left. Paul Newey shoved all in for around 150,000. Action folded around to Tsiareshchanka who also folded. Delgado put in the call as the covering stack.

Paul Newey: 9♥8♥ All in
Vicente Delgado: J♦4♦

Delgado made bottom pair on the K♥A♣J♣ flop. The Q♥ presented chop outs in the form of a ten, but Delgado held on the 9♦ river which sent Newey to the rail.
