Malte Strothmann - 21st Place
Malte Strothmann - 21st Place
Jason Mercier raised to 27,000. Daniele Mazzia reraised to 67,000 and Malte Strothmann moved all in for his last 134,000. Mercier folded but Mazzia made the call. The players showed:

Strothmann: {A-Clubs} {K-Diamonds}
Mazzia: {9-Clubs} {7-Diamonds}

The board ran out {Q-Diamonds} {7-Hearts} {2-Spades} {5-Diamonds} {2-Clubs} to give Mazzia the win and send Strothmann home in 21st place. Mazzia took over the chip lead on the hand and now sits with 814,000.

Steven Weusten Eliminated in 18th Place (€ 24,700)

Steven Weusten - 18th Place
Steven Weusten - 18th Place
Steven Weusten was all in for his last 87,000 from the button and Samuel Chartier made the call from the small blind, holding {4-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} to Weusten's {5-Spades} {10-Diamonds}. Weusten flopped good, the first three coming down {6-Diamonds} {6-Spades} {5-Hearts}, but the {3-Spades} turned, opening up a straight draw for Chartier. Sure enough, the {2-Hearts} on the river filled it and the last Dutch player in the field was eliminated. He'll take home € 24,700 for his performance here in Barcelona.

Voitto Rintala Eliminated in 17th Place (€ 24,700)

Voitto Rintala - 17th Place
Voitto Rintala - 17th Place
Everyone's favorite Finnish heavy-metal rocker has just departed in 17th place, nearly besting his 13th place finish in this event last year.

Rintala moved all in for 116,000 with {A-?} {9-?} only to run into {K-Clubs} {K-Hearts}. The flop came down ace-high with three clubs, pairing up Rintala, but giving his opponent a flush draw. Another club landed on the turn and Rintala's tournament was over.

He'll take home € 24,700, which should be good for a few new amps.
