Level 30 : 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Mihai Gheonu raised to 275,000 with the {k-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} on the button and Zhiping Zeng three-bet to 655,000 with the {5-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} in the big blind, which forced Gheonu to fold.

Zeng also raised the button, holding the {8-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}, and Ran Shahar with his short stack had no option but to fold in the big blind with the {10-Hearts}{2-Spades}.

Mihai Gheonu: {k-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}

Ran Shahar Eliminated in 7th Place (€12,400)

Level 30 : 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Ran Shahar
Ran Shahar

Darius Neagoe raised to 240,000 with the {k-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} and Ran Shahar defended the big blind with the {j-Spades}{10-Hearts} to see the {k-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{6-Spades} flop. Shahar moved all in for 925,000 and Neagoe double-checked his cards, gave it some thought and called with his top pair by using one time bank extension.

The {10-Spades} turn gave Shahar even further outs, but bricked off with the {q-Hearts} river to finish in 7th place for €12,400.

Ferreira Doubles Through Neagoe

Level 30 : 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Helder Ferreira
Helder Ferreira

Helder Ferreira shoved for 565,000 and chip leader Darius Neagoe called in the big blind.

Helder Ferreira: {k-Hearts}{5-Hearts}
Darius Neagoe: {8-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}

The {q-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} flop and {9-Hearts} turn kept Ferreira in the running, as did the {2-Spades} river, and the far shortest stack jumped back into contention.

Neagoe With Overwhelming Lead

Level 30 : 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Darius Neagoe open-shoved the {7-Spades}{7-Clubs} and Nicolae Suciu folded {a-Clubs}{j-Hearts} in the big blind. In the next hand, Neagoe received a walk with the {7-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} and that was the last hand to the level, sending the players on a 15-minute break.

Nicolae Suciu Eliminated in 6th Place (€16,550)

Level 31 : 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
Nicolae Suciu
Nicolae Suciu

In the first hand back from the break, Nicolae Suciu jammed for 1,200,000 on the button and Darius Neagoe reshoved in the small blind.

Nicolae Suciu: {a-Spades}{2-Hearts}
Darius Neagoe: {a-Clubs}{10-Hearts}

After the bad news preflop, the {j-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{9-Hearts} flop made things worse for Suciu, and it was all over after the {9-Clubs} turn. A meaningless {q-Diamonds} came on the river and Suciu was eliminated in 6th place for €16,550.

Nicolae Doubles Through Neagoe

Level 31 : 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
Bogdan Nicolae
Bogdan Nicolae

In a battle of the blinds, Bogdan Nicolae moved all in for fewer than three big blinds and dominating chip leader Darius Neagoe called from the big blind.

Bogdan Nicolae: {a-Hearts}{q-Spades}
Darius Neagoe: {a-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}

The {10-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{8-Spades} flop gave Neagoe top pair, but the {4-Diamonds} turn and {j-Hearts} river let Nicolae double and remain in contention.

Helder Ferreira Eliminated in 5th Place (€21,070)

Level 31 : 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
Helder Ferreira
Helder Ferreira

Helder Ferreira moved all in for 910,000 on the button and Bogdan Nicolae eventually called in the big blind, then nodded when he was shown the superior pocket pair.

Helder Ferreira: {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}
Bogdan Nicolae: {6-Spades}{6-Clubs}

The {a-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{8-Hearts} flop changed nothing much, but Nicolae spiked the {6-Diamonds} turn to leave in trouble. A meaningless {3-Spades} hit on the river and the Portuguese had to settle for 5th place and a payday of €21,070. Late on Day 2, Ferreira had been down to just two big blinds and still made it all the way to the final table.
