Christoph Vogelsang raised to 85,000 from the button and Ivan Luca re-shoved from the small blind for 725,000.

"Can I get a count?" Mike McDonald asked from the big blind.

McDonald got the number confirmed, and he moved all in over the top, which got Vogelsang to fold his cards.

Luca: {A-Spades}{Q-Spades}
McDonald: {A-Hearts}{J-Clubs}

The board ran out {A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{3-Spades}{2-Clubs} and Luca found himself a double up. McDonald is now has the shortest stack of the tournament.

JC Alvarado raised to 80,000 from early position and Ben Tollerene in the big blind was the sole caller.

Queens for Vogelsang, Queens for Kurganov

Level 17 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Christoph Vogelsang raised to 90,000 and action folded to Igor Kurganov on the button. Kurganov three bet to 250,000 with 950,000 behind. Both blinds folded and Vogelsang moved forward a 20-high stack of 100,000 stacks. Kurganov called all in just as easy.

Kurganov showed {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts} and Vogelsang said "Ha!" before tabling the other two queens; {Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs}.

"Red for a sweat" asked Kurganov, and he got what he asked for: {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}. The {6-Spades} on the turn made for a sure chop, and the dealer dealt the {2-Hearts} on the river just to have a complete board out there. And you know what they say:

♪♫ Everyone loves a chopped pot! ♩♬

Fedor Holz Eliminates Viacheslav Buldygin on the Bubble

Level 17 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Viacheslav Buldygin (stripped top) bubbles the 2015 EPT Barcelona €50,000 Super High Roller
Viacheslav Buldygin (stripped top) bubbles the 2015 EPT Barcelona €50,000 Super High Roller

Viacheslav Buldygin open pushed his last 715,000 from early position and action folded to Fedor Holz who called instantly. They had to wait till the action was done on the other table, and then they finally tabled their hands.

Holz had the better hand holding {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds}, Buldygin was trailing with the {A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}.

The flop came {J-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{6-Hearts} and Buldygin needed some help, and he needed it quick.

The {K-Clubs} on the turn paired up Holz but it gave Buldygin a gutshot. The {2-Spades} on the river wasn't one of the cards Buldygin was looking for and the Russian player exited in 16th place.

With Buldygin's departure, the remaining 15 players are now in the money, guaranteed €80,800.
