Ilan Boujenah Eliminated in 6th Place (€92,000)
Ilan Boujenah's fun, if a tempestuous, tournament has come to an end after he was eliminated by Bruno Lopes.
Lopes, fresh from raise folding to a Boujenah shove, opened to 105,000 from under the gun. Boujenah and Fraser Macintyre called to head to the 
flop. The action was checked to Boujenah in position and his 160,000 bet was called by both players.
The turn came 
and Boujenah tank shoved for 920,000 when the action was checked to him again. Macintyre thought about calling before folding, but there was no thinking from Lopes as he snapped with 
for the nuts. Boujenah opened 
for two-pair and failed to catch up on the 
river.

Ibañez Gets That Squeezy Feeling
Fraser MacIntyre opened the pot to 110,000, and Bruno Lopes flatted on the button. Around in the big blind, Ricardo Ibañez squeezed to 280,000 total. MacIntyre folded with relative ease, but the action froze on Lopes for a couple minutes. He eventually found the fold button, though, and Ibañez snags some extra chips with no confrontation.

You Can't Blame Him For Trying
Level 27
: 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante
In a battle of the blinds, Frederik Jensen came in raising, and Fraser MacIntyre defended his big blind. The flop came out 
. The Scotsman called a continuation bet too, and Jensen checked to him on the 
turn. Now MacIntyre took his cue to make a small bet of 125,000, and Jensen called to see the river. It was the 
, and Jensen checked again. But he had sinister thoughts on his mind. When MacIntyre bet 475,000, he check-raised to 1.26 million.
MacIntyre called very quickly, and Jensen knew his 
had been had. MacIntyre's 
was easily the best hand, and he's going to take a massive chip lead with that pot. The break is coming up in just a minute, so we'll get his actual count right from the table.

Stoenescu Takes the Lead in Fine Fashion
Frederik Jensen raised to open the pot, and he found action from both Fraser MacIntyre (button) and Andrei Stoenescu to create three-way action heading to the flop.
It came out 
. The first two checked to MacIntyre, and he put out a bet of 200,000. Stoenescu called, Jensen folded, and it was now heads-up to the turn. The 
landed to put three spades on board. Action froze on Stoenescu for a couple minutes as he contemplated a bet. He led out with 360,000, and MacIntyre called very quickly to see the arrive on the turn. Four spades on board now. Stoenescu stacked up another bet and made it 680,000, and now MacIntyre needed a couple minutes to think.
The call did come eventually, and Stoenescu had the stone cold nuts. He tabled his 
, and the straight flush gives him one of the biggest pots of the tournament. With it comes the chip lead, as well. The Romanian now leads the pack with just shy of 4 million, about a half-million in front of MacIntyre.

The turn arrived as
