Cate Hall opened to 225,000 from under the gun and Jaime Rueda Sampedro moved all in for 1,400,000 from the hijack. Once the action folded back to Hall, she called and the showdown provided a cooler.

Jaime Rueda Sampedro: {K-Hearts}{K-Spades}
Cate Hall: {Q-Clubs}{Q-Spades}

The {Q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} flop gave Hall top set, and the {8-Clubs} turn and {5-Hearts} river were both blanks to eliminate yet another player from the final table. Rueda receives €18,000 for his efforts and the next payout is worth €22,000.

Miri Hits a Minor Miracle

Level 28 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante

Hamza Miri called all-in for 210,000 after Jaime Rueda Sampredo’s opening bet to 220,000. Marco Regonaschi came along for the ride.

Sampredo {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}
Hamza Miri: {J-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}
Regonaschi {3-Hearts}{5-Clubs}

The flop of {A-Spades}{9-Spades}{7-Clubs} saw Sampredo bet 125,000 and that dissuaded Regonaschi from going any further in the hand. Cards on their backs, and then the twist, as the {8-Hearts} turn gave Miri the straight. The river {5-Diamonds} saw the hand completed and Miri celebrate.

Hall and Shehadeh Have No Diamonds

Level 28 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante

Cate Hall made it 225,000 from early position with {A-Spades}{Q-Spades} and got it round the table until it came to Luigi Shehadeh in the big blind with {8-Spades}{8-Hearts}. He called and they saw a flop of {4-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}.

Shehadeh and Hall both checked to the turn of {A-Diamonds}, but with neither having a diamond, both checked. The river {7-Spades} saw them both do the same again and Hall was happy enough to take a pot from the chip leader.
