Level 13 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Harun Ertural checked from the big blind to Bernard Larabi in the cutoff. Larabi fired 50,000 into a 130,000 pot on a K♦J♣9♠Q♣ board and was instantly raised to 155,000.

Larabi called, seeing the 4♦ hit the river. He was quickly put all-in by Ertural, putting him in the tank. Ultimately, he made the call for his tournament life.

Ertural tabled A♠Q♠10♥8♦ for the nut straight. Larabi mucked his Q♥Q♦5♣4♥ for a set of queens at first but it was turned over by the dealer as he took his leave.

At another table €5,200 Opener runner-up Pavel Izotov fell short of his second cash of the series.

Level 13 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

A completed board of 5♥Q♦A♠6♦3♠ was inbetween Tom-Aksel Bedell in the big blind and Aaron Pahlawani on the button.

Bedell checked to Pahlawani, who put him all-in for a pot-sized bet of 220,000.

"I was the bubble boy in the 5K and I might be the bubble in the 10K as well," Bedell lamented as he pondered his options.

Eventually, he called off. Pahlawani tabled 10♠7♣5♦4♣ for a rivered straight.

"Bet when you have the chance," Bedell said as he showed down K♥Q♠Q♣6♣ for a no-good top set and took his leave.
