Level 22 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

Marc-Olivier Perrault raised from early position and was called by Pascal Hartmann in the small blind and Luis Rodriguez Cruz in the big blind. The flop fell and the action checked to Perrault, who continued for 88,000. Only Hartmann called before the duo checked down the turn and river.

Schillhabel Eliminated by Durnegger

Christian Zetzsche

Level 22 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

Five German-speaking players were seated over on table two but that number was reduced by one when two of them clashed in a preflop all in. Markus Durnegger had raised and called the three-bet shove of Stefan Schillhabel for what appeared to be 700,000.

It was a classic race with the ace-king for Schillhabel and the for Durneggger. The board came and Schillhabel failed to improve, joining the rail in 23rd place for €38,350.
