Richard Weeks Eliminated in 24th Place (€10,940)

Frank Visser

Level 30 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Hiep Ninh, Stephen Groom, and Richard Weeks were three-way to a flop of 3♣9♠10♠. Weeks checked out of the big blind and Ninh bet 250,000 from early position. Groom made the call before Weeks shipped all in for 950,000.

Ninh called the bet, but Groom had devious plans and jammed all in himself, for 3,680,000.

"I was trapping with the call but now I want to fold," Ninh claimed. Eventually, he let his hand go to create a showdown between the other two players.

Richard Weeks: A♠8♠ All in
Stephen Groom: 10♥10♦

Groom had top set but Weeks was still live with his flush draw. The 4♥ turn bricked out, however, and the 3♦ river gave Groom a full house to secure the elimination.

Tous Puts Pressure on Peters

Frank Visser

Level 29 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Tobias Peters raised to 200,000 from the hijack and received a call from Alexander Davies on the button. David Tous defended his big blind and the flop was dealt 7♥5♦A♠.

Peters continued for 225,000 and Davies folded while Tous check-called. The 9♦ turn was then checked by both players before Rosich pushed all in on the 7♠ river.

Peters would be at risk if he called with his stack of 1,715,000 chips, but he decided against it and laid his hand down instead.

D'Souza Dusted

Frank Visser

Level 29 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Tero Laurila shoved all in for 950,000 from middle position and was called by Alexander D'Souza in the hijack, who played 600,000.

Alexander D'Souza: A♥K♥ All in
Tero Laurila: 10♥10♣

"This might be it," D'Souza said ominously. It turned out he was right as the 8♦6♣5♦8♥5♠ runout saw Laurila's tens hold to eliminate the Australian player.

Frank Visser

Level 29 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Oliver Boyce raised to 200,000 from middle position and Christopher Johnson defended his big blind. Boyce then continued for 225,000 on the Q♣7♣J♥ flop, which Johnson check-raised to 625,000.

Boyce almost instantly moved all in with his big stack, and that spelled the end of the end as Johnson quickly mucked his cards and was left with 17 big blinds.

Tsouloftas Makes Hero Call as Sheth Bluffs It Off in Huge Pot

Frank Visser

Level 28 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Georgios Tsouloftas raised to 160,000 from middle position and Ravi Sheth made it 730,000 to go from the small blind. Tsouloftas made the sizable call and both players went on to check the J♦3♣5♥ flop.

Sheth checked again on the 7♦ turn, after which Tsouloftas made a bet of 500,000. Sheth then pumped it up to 1,420,000 and Tsouloftas put in the extra required chips for a call.

On the 8♦ river, Sheth sized up to 1,700,000, leaving only 300,000 chips behind. Tsouloftas thought about the situation for a while before eventually calling, creating the biggest pot of the tournament so far.

"You're good," Sheth repeated a few times before Tsouloftas tabled J♣10♣ for a weak top pair. Sheth's cards indeed hit the muck and Tsouloftas raked in the pot to get him to a stack worth triple the average one.

Georgios Tsouloftas	8,160,000 3,960,000	3,960,000

Dehli Ousted With Full House Over Full House

Frank Visser

Level 27 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Nicklas Dehli had raised under the gun when Konstantinos Vatseris three-bet on the button. Dehli put in a call and a 640,000-chip pot was created. The A♣2♦5♠ flop was then checked through before Dehli made a bet of 225,000 on the 10♦ turn.

Vatseris shrugged and made the call, after which the 2♠ river paired the board. Dehli fired once more, for 575,000 chips. Vatseris took a few moments before announcing his all-in, covering the 1,975,000 stack of Dehli.

"Wow, you must have it then," Dehli said. He was about to find out as he tossed in the call for his tournament life not much later.

Vatseris indeed had it, as he tabled A♥A♦ for top full house. Dehli showed 5♥5♦ for a lesser full house and he departed from the tournament area to collect his payout.

Ryan Short After Running Into Seven-Deuce

Frank Visser

Level 27 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Tero Laurila raised to 230,000 from the small blind and received a call from big blind Larry Ryan. Laurila then fired 250,000 on the A♣4♦5♥ flop and 275,000 on the 3♦ turn, both times getting called by Ryan.

On the 9♦ river, Laurilla put another 300,000 chips in the middle, leaving only 100,000 behind. Ryan mulled the situation over for a few minutes before tossing in a call.

"I think I get a reward," said Laurila, who tabled 7♥2♠ for a straight. He indeed got rewarded as the pot was shipped his way when Ryan mucked his cards and was left with a mere five big blinds.

Dehli Provokes Tsouloftas

Frank Visser

Level 26 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Nicklas Dehli checked out of the small blind on a board of Q♠8♣8♥2♥. With 800,000 already in the pot, Georgios Tsouloftas made a bet of 175,000 from the button, receiving a call from Dehli.

The J♦ river completed the board and Dehli led out for a tiny 50,000 chips. Tsouloftas quickly jammed all in, covering the 675,000 chips of Dehli. Dehli snap called and both players showed their cards.

Dehli had J♥J♣ for a rivered full house, while Tsouloftas reluctantly tabled 9♠5♠ for a failed bluff. Dehli doubled up while former chip leader Tsouloftas forfeited a large portion of his stack.

Frank Visser

Level 26 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

In the final hand of the previous level, Deborah "The Destroyer" Worley-Roberts was heads up against Sean Creighton. On a flop of 4♥5♥10♠, Creighton checked out of the small blind to Worley-Roberts in middle position.

Worley-Roberts made a bet of 140,000 and Creighton made a quick call. On the subsequent 9♦ turn, Worley-Roberts sized up to 200,000, but this time faced an all-in check-raise from Creighton for 425,000.

Worley-Roberts spent several minutes in the tank, questioning her opponent. Eventually, she made the call to put Creighton at risk.

Sean Creighton: 4♣3♥ All in
Deborah Worley-Roberts: K♣10♥

Worley-Roberts' top pair was in the lead, and the 10♣ river upgraded her to trip tens to secure the pot. She celebrated loudly and thanked her "blessed bosoms" for winning the pot.
