Jose Vazquez Ortega Eliminated in 24th Place (€ 24,700)

Jose Vazquez Ortega - 24th Place
Jose Vazquez Ortega - 24th Place
Action folded around to Jose Vazquez Ortega and he opened for a standard raise. Mikael Lundell, next to act, reraised an additional 55,000 and Lundell made the call.

The exact action is unclear but when the flop came {10-Spades} {9-Diamonds} {2-Hearts}, both players were quick to get all their chips into the center. It was Ortega's tournament life on the line and he was in bad shape holding {K-Clubs} {10-Diamonds} up against the {9-Spades} {9-Hearts} of Lundell. The turn and river blanked coming the {A-Clubs} and {4-Clubs} respectively.

Ortega was eliminated in 26th place and takes home € 19,800 to show for it. Lundell, meanwhile, is on the rise with just over 450,000 chips.

Alessandro Longobardi Eliminated in 23rd Place (€24,700)

Alessandro Longobardi - 23rd
Alessandro Longobardi - 23rd
Alessandro Longobardi's demise involved two hands. Calling a short-stack push from a wounded Sebastian Ruthenberg, Longobardi lost a 140,000 pot with {A-Spades}{Q-Spades} versus {10-Diamonds}{7-Spades} on an eventful {6-Spades}{8-Hearts}{3-Spades}{5-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} board.

Moments later, Longobardi himself was all in, this time for around 60,000, with {K-Hearts}{8-Hearts} versus Jonas Molander's {J-Spades}{9-Spades}. Sadly for the Italian, it was outdraw number two as the board came a teasing {2-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} to send him hurtling to the rail.

Cornelis Alblas Eliminated in 22nd Place (€ 24,700)

Cornelis Alblas - 22nd Place
Cornelis Alblas and Mikael Lundell played their hands for a raise and took went heads up to a flop of {A-Spades} {9-Clubs} {8-Hearts}. Lundell, who had Alblas well covered, moved all in on the flop and Alblas made a quick call. The players showed:

Alblas: {A-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs}
Lundell: {A-Clubs} {K-Clubs}

The turn fell the {4-Diamonds} with the river {K-Spades} behind it. Lundell's top two pair were best and he sent Alblas home in 22nd place.
