After John Juanda had opened with a raise, a short-stacked Morten Mortensen moved all in for 235,000. Juanda didn't seem thrilled, but made a hesitant call nonetheless.
Showdown
Juanda:
Mortensen:
Mortensen was ahead, but Juanda got a good sweat with the flop as either a deuce, five or four would give him the win. The wasn't what he needed, but the river was. Mortensen closed his eyes for a brief moment before exiting the Main Stage in 10th place for €55,100.
Fatima Moreira de Melo made name for herself as a field hockey player who took no prisoners. A self-described pit-bull, she scrapped her way to 16th place today, her best EPT performance to date. But after appearing on “Survivor” the one time pit-bull is learning to chill, even if that can’t entirely remove the disappointment of defeat.
Things have been relatively quiet since the final nine players started back up. It's a very important bubble as not only is it the TV bubble, but it comes with a pay jump as well.
The last hand featured some pre-flop betting action. John Juanda opened with a 90,000 raise from the early position and Joni Jouhkimainen on Juanda's immediate left three-bet to 200,000. Action folded to Ilari Sahamies on the button who four-bet to 540,000 and both Juanda and Jouhkimainen released their hands.
Anaras Alekberovas opened for 110,000 from the hijack only to have Ilari Sahamies three-bet to 250,000 from the cutoff. After the button and blinds got out of the way, Alekberovas made the call and it was off to the flop.
Alekberovas ended up check-calling a bet from Sahamies, how much we're not sure, and then both players checked the turn. Alekberovas checked for a third time on the river, and then snap folded when Sahamies cut out 500,000 in chip and slid them into the pot.
