Konstantin Puchkov Eliminated in 17th Place (€20,000)

Level 25 : 20,000/40,000, 4,000 ante
Konstantin Puchkov
Konstantin Puchkov

A case of Puch comes to shove as Kostantin Puchkov moved all-in for his last 450,000 and it was passed around to Jonas Gutteck who asked for a count then moved all-in from the small blind. Max Heinzelmann quickly got out of the way.

Gutteck: {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}
Puchkov: {8-Spades}{8-Clubs}

We have to confess, Puchkov's hopes didn't look too great after a flop of {a-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{4-Spades} and no six, seven or eight came on the {j-Hearts} turn meant the Russian was eliminated on the {2-Hearts} river.

A table is now being broken, the new table draw will be up shortly.

Sorry, no chip counts for this one as we're not allowed up there, but they should be roughly the same as at the last break.

Andrulis Goes All In, Comes Back Out Again Unscathed

Level 25 : 20,000/40,000, 4,000 ante
Kristijonas Andrulis
Kristijonas Andrulis

Kristijonas Andrulis open-shoved from the button and got a call from Darren Kramer in the big blind.

Andrulis: {4-Spades}{4-Diamonds}
Kramer: {6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}

"Standard," said Andrulis.

The board was pretty non-standard though, coming down {j-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{j-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} to chop it up. Andrulis therefore lives to see another few hands at least.

"Always call for the chop," noted tablemate Ben Wilinofsy, "Don't get greedy."

Jeffrey Hakim Eliminated in 16th Place (€23,000)

Level 25 : 20,000/40,000, 4,000 ante
Jeffrey Hakim
Jeffrey Hakim

A short-stacked Jeffrey Hakim moved all-in from the small blind with {q-Clubs}{j-Hearts} and Armin Mette snap-called from the big blind turning over a dominating {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}.

Hakim was the slightly shorter of the two and needed lady luck to appear on the board but instead it came {3-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{a-Hearts}{6-Clubs} and Mette's stack rose back over the 1 million mark.

15 players remain.

Maxed Out of the Hand

Level 25 : 20,000/40,000, 4,000 ante

Max Heinzelmann opened to 82,000 preflop from early position before Cuello Jorge Mariano reraised to 230,000 from the cutoff. Passed back to Heinzelmann and he now made it 505,000 in a big 4-bet.

Mariano quickly announced all-in and Heinzelmann sighed, "Count please."

The amount that came back to him was 1.775 million more and Heizelmann elected to fold.

Luis Jaikel Eliminated in 15th Place (€23,000)

Level 25 : 20,000/40,000, 4,000 ante
Luis Jaikel
Luis Jaikel

Having made several attempts to get it in preflop (one successful but an anticlimactic split) Luis Jaikel was called raising all in on the cutoff by small blind Martin Jacobson. Jaikel's 410,000 stack represented the majority of Jacobson's own chips, and it ended up being a race for a stack.

Jacobson{9-Hearts}{9-Spades}
Jaikel{A-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}

The board ran out {4-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{K-Spades}{6-Hearts} and this is not to be the Day of the Jaikel.
