Song Takes a Chunk From Straver

Level 28 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Daewoong Song
Daewoong Song

Johannes Straver raised to 120,000 in the hijack and was called by Daewoong Song in the big blind.

Song check-called a bet of 110,000 on the {7-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{3-Clubs} flop, then checked again on the {j-Spades} turn.

After Straver bet 400,000, Song slid forward his stack of time bank cards as he expected to need some time for his decision. He cut down his roughly 1,400,000 chips and used nearly a minute of time before deciding on a call, leaving himself just over a million behind.

Song then checked the {a-Spades} river and Straver quickly checked back.

Song showed {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts} for a running two pair and Straver mucked his hand.

Lander Lijo Eliminated in 9th Place (€96,500)

Level 27 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Lander Lijo
Lander Lijo

In the first hand at the final table, Lander Lijo opened on the button and Johannes Straver three-bet jammed in the big blind. Lijo snap-called with a total stack of 990,000.

Lander Lijo: {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}
Johannes Straver: {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}

Lijo's nines were still ahead after the flop of {6-Hearts}{6-Spades}{4-Hearts}, but the {k-Diamonds} on the turn gave his opponent a big lead and Lijo was eliminated in ninth place after the {8-Clubs} bricked off on the river.

"GG. Good luck, guys," Lijo said after his short-lived final table appearance.

Andrew Wilson Eliminated in 10th Place (€80,410)

Level 27 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Andrew Wilson
Andrew Wilson

Andrew Wilson's spinup attempt has come to an end at the hands of Daewoong Song.

Wilson moved all in for approximately 600,000 from the hijack and Song moved in for more in the small blind.

Andrew Wilson: {a-Hearts}{2-Hearts}
Daewoong Song: {a-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}

The board ran out {6-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{10-Spades}{k-Spades}{j-Clubs}, bringing no help to Wilson and sending the final nine players to the unofficial final table.

The players have gone on a quick unscheduled 10-minute break as the final table seat draw is completed.

Wilson on Fumes After Broadway vs Boat Collision

Level 27 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Andrew Wilson
Andrew Wilson

In a blind-versus-blind confrontation, Laszlo Molnar opened from the small blind and Andrew Wilson three-bet to 480,000 from the big blind. Molnar called.

The flop landed {q-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{j-Spades} and Molar checked. Wilson bet 275,000 and Molnar called. Molnar checked again on the {q-Diamonds} turn and Wilson sized up to 400,000. Molnar used through a time bank and called.

The river brought the {3-Hearts} and Molnar again checked. Wilson used a time bank before fired a third barrel of 645,000, which Molnar met with a snap-call.

Wilson proudly tabled {a-Spades}{k-Spades} for a Broadway straight, which he surely thought was good to win the pot. But Molnar then tabled {10-Spades}{10-Clubs} for tens full of queens. Wilson had flopped the nut straight with a redraw to the nut flush but Molnar boated up on the turn to leave the Brit visibly flustered and riding fumes after the gut-wrenching cooler.

Wilson's luck may be turning around as he doubled up his nub of 175,000 through Stefan Schillhabel a few hands later when his {a-Spades}{7-Clubs} held up against the {j-Clubs}{9-Clubs} of the German.

At the other table, Kyriakos Papadopoulos doubled up through chip leader Ehsan Amiri when his {a-Spades}{k-Spades} dominated the Aussie's {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}.

Lijo Tanks His Way to a Double

Level 27 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Lander Lijo
Lander Lijo

Rui Ferreira open-jammed in the small blind and Lander Lijo in the big blind informed him he would be calling off with his stack of about 600,000. Lijo then threw out a handful of time banks as he eyed the action at the other table.

"That's a lot of time banks!" said Ehsan Amiri. Lijo ended up calling after using through three of the time extensions.

Lander Lijo: {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}
Rui Ferreira: {k-Spades}{6-Clubs}

Lijo took a big lead as the flop came {8-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{a-Hearts} to pair his ace and the runout of {2-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} didn't change much for the Spaniard to be saved from elimination.
