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

Marco Regonaschi scored a lucky double with {K-Spades}{J-Clubs} versus {K-Hearts}{J-Hearts} thanks to a board of {7-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{Q-Clubs} and Carlos Garcia Rodriguez was the next player at risk for 11 big blinds. Hamza Miri looked him up with two big blinds more and the cards were tabled.

Carlos Garcia Rodriguez: {A-Hearts}{K-Spades}
Hamza Miri: {7-Diamonds}{7-Spades}

The board ran out {J-Spades}{9-Clubs}{2-Spades}{K-Hearts}{9-Spades} and the Spaniard found a king on the turn to double and leave Miri very short.

Nervous First Orbit at Final Table

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

TThe final nine are feeling each other out, which with a 20-big blind average stack is a short game with few winners. Luigi Shehadeh holds the massive chips lead over the field with more than double anyone’s stack except Cate Halls.

The first big hand of the final saw Stefan Eriksson move all-in pre-flop with {10-Hearts}{10-Spades} 865,000, but he took it away unchallenged.

Jose Alberto Lopez Gonzalez looked down at {Q-Spades}{10-Clubs} in middle position and bet 225,000, so Cate Hall called with {3-Spades}{3-Hearts}. The flop of {8-Clubs}{8-Spades}{5-Hearts} saw Lopez continue and take it down.

Luigi Shehadeh had used his stack to inflate the pot pre-flop with {A-Spades}{J-Spades} , but after the flop came {K-Clubs}{K-Spades}{4-Hearts}, he saw Jose Alberto Lopez Gonzalez bet 225,0000 (with {7-Diamonds}{7-Spades}) and that took it down.

Francisco Jose Garcia Martin - gone in tenth position after running into aces

Francisco Jose Garcia Martin moved in from the button for 1.36million chips and having just won another chunky pot, Luigi Shehadeh couldn't believe his luck when he looked down at his cards and snap-called.

Francisco Jose Garcia Martin: {9-Clubs}{10-Spades}
Luigi Shehadeh: {A-Diamonds}{A-Spades}

The board of {6-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{2-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} sent Martin home in 10th place and set our final table. There will be a short hiatus while players' stacks are organised, the table draw is completed and everyone's back is patted.

Each of the final nine are just a few big hands and that little bit of luck from an incredible €110,000 and the - really quite heavy - trophy.

Level 27 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Soon after the dramatic split pot, Jaime Rueda Sampedro shoved again and this time it was for 850,000. Hamza Miri called and the cards were tabled.

Jaime Rueda Sampedro: {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs}
Hamza Miri: {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}

The board came {J-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} and Rueda doubled to almost even out the stacks of both players.

Miri and Rueda Chop After Coin Flip

Level 27 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Jaime Rueda Sampedro shoved for 865,000 into a raise to 160,000 by Hamza Miri and the latter started some table talk. Miri suspected a pair of eights and eventually called to get shown the exact hand he called out.

Jaime Rueda Sampedro: {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}
Hamza Miri: {A-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}

The {A-Spades}{J-Spades}{9-Spades} flop improved Miri, but Rueda had some outs on the {3-Spades} turn. The {8-Spades} river provided a flush on the board and both players chopped it up.

William Kassouf shoved for 560,000 from the hijack and Hamza Miri called on the button.

Hamza Miri: {A-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}
William Kassouf: {K-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}

The board came {J-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{8-Spades} and Kassouf eventually bowed out in 11th place. Miri had tangled with the Brit several times and eventually finished the private duel on the feature table. With that, the field is down to 10 players and both tables will play hand-for-hand on both tables.

Out of the small blind, Stefan Eriksson raised to 200,000 with the {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} and Marco Regonaschi jammed for another 745,000 with the {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts} out of the big blind. Eriksson took a long time before electing to fold.

The next hand, Alessio Sardone shoved from the small blind for 730,000 and Eriksson had 30,000 more and was in the big blind. The Swede called and the cards were tabled.

Alessio Sardone: {Q-Spades}{8-Spades}
Stefan Eriksson: {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}

The board came {7-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{3-Spades} and Sardone was eliminated in 12th place.
