Gabi Livshitz: A♥K♦J♥5♠

Livshitz hit the higher straight on the Q♣ turn, leaving "Sonic" drawing dead. The river was dealt as a formality as "Sonic"s second deep run of the series ended in 11th place.

With 500,000 in the pot, "NoNeedMoney" moved all in on the 10♦6♦6♣ flop for about 1,030,000, being looked up by Christian Stratmeyer.

Christian Stratmeyer: 6♥5♦4♦2♠ All in
Espen Myrmo: K♠Q♣J♦9♦

Stratmeyer turned two pair on A♣K♣4♠2♣, but Myrmo made his straight on the 10♣ river to secure the pot and knock out the Diamond Poker Series founder.

Level 19 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Youness Barakat had raised the pot preflop and called the three-bet to 720,000 from Carlo van Ravenswoud. Barakat checked the J♦2♥2♦ flop over to Van Ravenswoud, who moved all in.

Barakat instantly called off his stack of 300,000 to force a showdown.

Carlo van Ravenswoud: A♦A♣10♣6♦

The 8♥ turn gave Barakat some extra outs, but it was not to be on the 3♥ river. Barakat was eliminated in 15th place - his first time missing the final table in the €5K Millions since its inaugural edition.

Level 18 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

In a limped pot, the action checked through to the 7♠2♣5♦4♣7♦ river. It was once again checked to Filip Lovric on the button, who bet 75,000. Espen Myrmo quickly folded from the small blind.

"I don't have a pair, but I can beat some bluffs," big blind Benjamin Ozer said before he tossed in his 10,000 remaining chips. He then called and tabled A♦K♦10♥8♠.

Lovric had K♥9♥4♦3♥ for sevensand fours, however, and took the pot to eliminate Ozer. Shortly after, Onur Gur was eliminated from the same table in a pot against Jelle de Kroon to leave two tables in play.
