Ivan Luca and Juha Helppi Both Out on the Bubble (€21,600)

Level 18 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Farid Jattin - Ivan Luca - Bubble
Farid Jattin - Ivan Luca - Bubble

Farid Jattin opened for 85,000 from middle position and Ivan Luca in the hijack called all in for his last 65,000. Action folded around and Jattin got some chips back. Action was halted and no hole cards were shown just yet.


At the same time on a different table, action folded to Juha Helppi and he moved in from the small blind for about 180,000 and big blind Kevin Stani made the call from the big blind.


First Farid Jattin showed his {J-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} and Ivan Luca tabled {K-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}. The board ran out {10-Hearts}{10-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} and Ivan Luca was eliminated. He walked over to Juha Helppi's table to see what his faith would be. If Helppi would get eliminated as well, the two of them would share the 23rd place money. If Helppi would chop or double, Luca would get nothing.


With Luca as the interested bystander, Helppi turned over {Q-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}. Stani had the {9-Hearts}{7-Hearts}. The board ran out {8-Clubs}{J-Spades}{6-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{2-Clubs} and with his turned pair of sevens Stani eliminated Helppi.


The two of them walked to the pay out desk to collect their €21,600. Everyone loves a chopped bubble!

Iacopo Brandi - Leo Fernandez
Iacopo Brandi - Leo Fernandez

The action folded to Iacopo Brandi who moved all in from the button to put pressure on both blinds. Team PokerStars Pro Leo Fernandez called from the small blind for 116,000 total, and the showdown went as following.

Brandi: {Q-Clubs}{4-Hearts}
Fernandez: {Q-Spades}{J-Diamonds}

The board ran out {8-Spades}{2-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{J-Spades} and Fernandez kept his tournament aspirations alive with a big sigh.
