Hand #16 - Constant Rijkenberg

[user75032]

Constant Rijkenberg has the button in Seat 6. William Reynolds gets things started with a raise to 97,000. Rijkenberg ships his newly doubled stack of 1.2 million into the middle from the button. "Want to look in my ear?" Rijkenberg asks Reynolds.

"I can see your soul," Reynolds responds. He folds ace-jack face-up.

Hand #17 - Danilo D'Ettoris Eliminated in 8th Place (€114,000)

[user46392]

D'Ettoris - last Italian standing falls down

Danilo D'Ettoris, rather quiet until now, makes it 120,000 -- only for Constant Rijkenberg to announce all in again for 1,431,000. D'Ettoris covers his mouth with his hand...

...and calls.

Rijkenberg: {4-Hearts}

D'Ettoris: {A-Hearts}

Flop:

D'Ettoris twitches nervously.

Turn: {5-Hearts}

D'Ettoris stands up. whether because he thinks he's a goner or because he's picked up some extra outs in the form of the flush draw, we're not sure.

River: {3-Diamonds}

And the Italian is our first eliminatee.

[user75032]

Ovi Balaj has the button in Seat 8. One less player at the table doesn't stop Dragan Galic from opening the pot to 120,000. That wins the blinds and antes. Galic shows ace-king.

Hand #22 - Ovi Balaj

[user75032]

Gustav Sundell has the button in Seat 5. For the second pot in a row the newly revitalized Ovi Balaj is in there, with a raise to 100,000. Nobody wants to play for that amount.
