Tom Vogelsang: A♥Q♠J♦8♥

Joni Jouhkimainen: A♠10♦J♣4♠ All in
Tom-Aksel Bedell: 9♠6♠4♣3♦

Maksim Shuts: A♦A♣K♠8♦ All in
Tomas Ribeiro: A♠K♦Q♣10♣

Level 15 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Once again, "Appie" was all in, this time he got in his chips on a flop of 6♠6♣2♠ against Sofoklis Palekythritis.

"Appie": A♦A♣8♣3♠ All in
Sofoklis Palekythritis: 10♦7♦6♥5♠

Palekythritis had flopped trips to take a huge lead over "Appie"s aces. The 8♥ turn and 10♠ river changed nothing, leaving "Appie" stranded without a cash.

Frank Visser

Level 15 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Tomas Ribeiro was automatically all in in the big blind for 20,000. Tom-Aksel Bedell then raised the pot in the hijack, forcing out the rest of the table.

Tomas Ribeiro: Q♦7♠7♣3♣ All in
Tom-Aksel Bedell: A♦Q♠Q♣5♣

Despite Bedell's enthusiastic calls for a seven, the J♥2♣10♠4♣Q♥ board brought none. Bedell hit the final queen in the deck on the river to make a set, sending out Ribeiro as the bubble boy.

The remaining 23 players have been guaranteed a min-cash of €22,000.

Button "Deleted" had gone all-in at a prior stage in the hand, when Max Kruse and Tom Vogelsang arrived on the 7♦7♠9♣6♠2♠ river with an empty side pot.

Kruse then checked to Vogelsang, who replaced the emptiness with a bet of 200,000. Kruse quickly mucked his cards and Vogelsang tabled A♠J♦6♥4♠ for the nut flush.

"Deleted" showed his Q♥Q♣10♥6♣ for queens and sevens before departing as the first player in the money.

Level 16 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Tom-Aksel Bedell raised to 100,000 in the cutoff. Joni Jouhkimainen then three-bet to 345,000 on the button, which Bedell called.

The flop fell K♥K♦8♥. Bedell checked to Jouhkimainen, who shoved his remaining 310,000 in the middle. Bedell quickly called and the cards were tabled.

Joni Jouhkimainen: A♦A♠10♦6♣
Tom-Aksel Bedell: A♥9♥5♦2♦

Jouhkimainen's aces were up against the flush draw of Bedell. Bedell hit his flush on the 10♥ turn, and the 3x river could not provide Jouhkimainen with a full house, knocking him out.
