Level 27 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

From under the gun, Barny Boatman raised to 105,000. Dimitar Danchev called from the next seat and Kevin MacPhee called from the big blind.

The flop came down {Q-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{5-Spades} and action checked to Danchev. He bet 155,000 and MacPhee mucked. Boatman called.

The turn was the {A-Clubs} and both players checked to see the {3-Spades} land on the river. Boatman bet 155,000 and Danchev quickly called.

Danchev tabled the {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds} and Boatman the {A-Spades}{K-Clubs}. The two players held the same hand and chopped up the pot.

MacPhee Loses Huge Pot with Broadway

Kevin MacPhee raised to 110,000 from under the gun and Dimitar Danchev called from the cutoff seat to see the flop come down {Q-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{5-Hearts}. MacPhee stayed on the gas and bet 125,000. Danchev called.

The {A-Clubs} landed on the turn and MacPhee didn't slow down. He fired a bet of 275,000. Danchev stuck right with him and made the call.

The river paired the board with the {Q-Hearts} and MacPhee bet 460,000 rather quickly. Danchev double-handed a raise to 1.2 million. Only a few seconds passed before MacPhee announced a call.

Danchev tabled the {A-Hearts}{Q-Spades} for a full house, queens full of aces. MacPhee sprung from his chair and slammed over the {K-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} for a straight that was no longer good. MacPhee sent the chips over and lost more than half of his stack.

After the hand, MacPhee was visibly tilted from the hand and pacing around on stage.

Alessio Isaia Eliminated in 12th Place (€35,000)

Alessio Isaia - 12th place
Alessio Isaia - 12th place

Alessio Isaia has just ended his own tournament life. First into the pot, Isaia shoved in for 700,000, and Andrey Pateychuk made the call with {A-Spades} {J-Clubs}. Isaia could only show up {5-Diamonds} {7-Spades}, but he was still drawing live for the double up.

The {K-Spades} {Q-Spades} {3-Diamonds} flop changed nothing, but the {A-Clubs} turn was all she wrote for the Italian. He was drawing dead to the {10-Hearts} river, and Pateychuk ends up with Broadway to earn the knockout.

Alessio Isaia is one of the best poker players Italy has to offer, and he's made his mark here in his home country this week. Twelfth place is good for €35,000, and it's more money in the bank for one of the nation's top-five all-time money earners.

Andreas Samuelsson was all in from under the gun for 25,000. Rocco Palumbo from the small blind and Daniel Neilson from the big blind were also in action as play went to the {8-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} flop.

Samuelsson: {A-Spades}{4-Diamonds}
Neilson: {9-Diamonds}{2-Spades}

The turn forced Samuelsson to be drawing dead when another {2-} hit. The river completed the board with the {J-Diamonds} and Samuelsson was eliminated.
