Gaetano Luppina
Gaetano Luppina

Gaetano Luppina had doubled his short stack several times, always showing a premium pocket pair. He once again had one of them in {Q-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}, but Helmut Hauser had him dominated with the {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}.

The board came {A-Spades}{8-Spades}{5-Spades}{5-Hearts}{10-Clubs} and Luppina became the latest casualty.

Arvydas Merfeldas
Arvydas Merfeldas

Shay Ahluwalia had to dodge a lot of outs with [JdfJh] against the {A-Spades}{5-Spades} of Arvydas Merfeldas as the board came {8-Hearts}{4-Spades}{3-Spades}{J-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}.

Soon after both clashed again and Ahluwalia jammed with the slightly superior stack, Merfeldas called for around 230,000.

Feature Table

Ramon Miquel Munoz doubled his short stack with {A-Clubs}{10-Hearts} versus fellow Spaniard Fernando Pons with {A-Spades}{9-Spades}, the board came {Q-Spades}{5-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}.

A few minutes later, Martyn Duell was all in with {K-Diamonds}{K-Clubs} against the {A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts} of Mark Yi.

Perez Torres Eliminated

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Alejandro Perez Torres
Alejandro Perez Torres

In a battle of the blinds, Alejandro Perez Torres ended up at risk with the {A-Clubs}{4-Spades} and Philippe Souki snap-called in the big blind with {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}. The flop of {K-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} was bad news for Perez Torres and the Spaniard was drawing dead on the {8-Spades} turn already. A meaningless {K-Hearts} came on the river and Souki claimed the pot.

James Parker
James Parker

Feature Table

James Parker was eliminated on the feature table after his three-bet shove for fewer than 10 big blinds was called by initial raiser Fernando Pons.

James Parker: {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}
Fernando Pons: {A-Hearts}{2-Hearts}

The {A-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{2-Spades} flop gave Pons a full house, and the {J-Diamonds} turn and {10-Clubs} river were both blanks to send Parker out in 38th place. Before the break, he was followed by Parviz Siabi and that reduced the field to the last four tables.
