[Removed:284] Eliminated in 3rd Place (€290,000)

[Removed:284] - 3rd Place
[Removed:284] - 3rd Place

Andrew Chen raised on the button to 240,000 with the {A-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}. [Removed:284] reraised all in for 2.445 million from the big blind with the {A-Hearts}{3-Hearts}. Chen made the call and held a dominating position to knock [Removed:287] out in third place.

The flop came down {K-Spades}{J-Hearts}{10-Spades} and Chen increased his lead with a pair of jacks. The turn was the {6-Hearts} and gave [Removed:287] a flush draw, but the {9-Diamonds} on the river wasn't the red card he was looking for.

[Removed:287] finished in third place and earned €290,000 for his finish. Davidi Kitai and Chen are now heads up.

The turn was the {6-Spades} and Kitai bet 275,000. [Removed:287] gave it up and Kitai won the pot.

Chen Feeling Flush

[Removed:284] folds his button, Andrew Chen opened from the small blind with the lowly {7-Spades}{3-Spades} and Davidi Kitai made the call with {9-Hearts}{8-Hearts}. The pair shared a flop reading {8-Spades}{q-Spades}{6-Diamonds} and Chen made a continuation bet of 125,000, a bet that Kitai called.

The turn was the {3-Clubs} and when Chen checked and Kitai checked behind. The {10-Spades} river completed Chen's flush and he lead out again for 235,000 and after more than two minutes thinking time Kitai made the call; but mucked when he was shown the flush.

[Removed:287] Leaking Chips

Andrew Chen raised from the button with {j-Hearts}{10-Spades} and [Removed:285] made a very loose call in the big blind with {q-Hearts}{6-Spades}.

He had a plan though as he led for 400,000 on the {2-Spades}{a-Clubs}{8-Clubs} flop. Chen had a plan for that plan though and raised to 1,000,000. [Removed:287] took the hint and folded.

Mario Puccini - 4th Place

In a blind-versus-blind battle, Mario Puccini and Davidi Kitai got all of the money in preflop. Kitai raised from the small blind with the {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts} and Puccini jammed from the big blind with the {J-Spades}{10-Hearts} for 2.315 million. Kitai quickly called.

The board ran out {K-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{2-Spades} and Puccini was eliminated. Kitai won the pot to further increase his lead as play moved to three-handed.

[Removed:287] Doubles Up, Leaves Puccini Short

[Removed:284] has just doubled through Mario Puccini to leave the latter with 23 big blind.

Puccini opened to 225,000 first in from the small blind and [Removed:287] called from the big blind. The dealer put out the {4-Hearts}{a-Spades}{2-Spades} flop and Puccini fired a continuation bet of 200,000 only to see [Removed:287] raise all in for 1,800,000! Puccini made the call but he stood up from his seat and winced when he saw his opponent's holding.

Puccini: {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}
[Removed:287]: {5-Spades}{4-Spades}

[Removed:287]'s pair and flush draw meant it was a 50/50 situation but it was soon 100/0 in favour of [Removed:287] because the turn was the {9-Spades}. The meaningless {5-Clubs} landed on the river and [Removed:287] flew up the chip counts.
