Hat now removed.
Hat now removed.
While the other two tables were heading off on their break, Carter Phillips was busy getting his chips in with pocket {Q-Spades} {Q-Hearts} against Ari Kolpanitzki's pocket {9-Hearts} {9-Diamonds}.

Board: an unequivocal {Q-Diamonds} {2-Spades} {7-Hearts} {K-Spades} {6-Diamonds}

Phillips doubles to 770,000, while the Israeli dropped his hat over his remaining 250,000 in chips and headed off on break time.

Jose Alberto Carreres Busts to Lapossie (21st Place, €26,000)

No way, Jose.
No way, Jose.
Short-stacked Jose Alberto Carreres open-shoved for the fourth or fifth time, and this time Matt Lapossie called. Over to Michael Greco, who dwelled up for a long time but eventually folded. Everyone else got out of the way, and they were on their backs.

Carreres: {A-Hearts} {10-Hearts}
Lapossie: {6-Clubs} {6-Diamonds}

Board: a straightalicious {5-Clubs} {4-Hearts} {3-Clubs} {7-Diamonds} {7-Hearts} to send the Spaniard to the rail.

Gay Waiter Saves Kyllonen

Jens Kyllonen raised preflop and ElkY reraised before the Finn pushed all-in. ElkY looked incredibly reluctant to put the rest of his chips in, but eventually did and Kyllonen went quite pale. He flipped {Q-Clubs} {3-Clubs} and Elky showed {4-Hearts} {4-Clubs}

The board came {A-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds} {8-Clubs} {10-Diamonds} {K-Clubs} and a very lucky Kyllonen escapes while Elky is left with just 100,000.

David Robinson Eliminated in 22nd Place (€26,000)

David Robinson - 22nd Place
David Robinson - 22nd Place
Roland de Wolfe opened with a raise to 31,000 and action folded to David Robinson in the big blind. Robinson moved all in for 304,000 total. De Wolfe made the call and tabled {10-Hearts} {10-Diamonds}. Robinson turned over {A-Hearts} {Q-Spades} as he stood up and yelled that he was all in to his frineds on the rail.

The dealer dealt the flop and right in the door was an ace -- {A-Spades} {K-Diamonds} {5-Hearts}. Robinson clapped his hands together as he took the lead.

Just as the flop gave Robinson the lead, all of his hopes seemed dashed when the {10-Clubs} hit the turn. The river was the {6-Hearts} and that was it, Robinson was eliminated in 22nd place. De Wolfe moved up to 700,000.

Greco Doubles Up

Santiago Terrazas Ambite raised to 39,000 from middle position and Michael Greco reraised all-in from the big blind for not too much more. Ambite instantly called with {A-Diamonds} {K-Spades} and Greco showed {A-Clubs} {A-Hearts}.

"Nothing funky dealer!" said Greco.

The board was {2-Spades} {8-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds} and Greco looked very worried but the river was the {8-Spades} and Greco is up to about 250,000
