Philippe Ktorza
Philippe Ktorza

Marvin Rettenmaier opened to 35,000 on the button, and Philippe Ktorza three-bet all in for 171,000 from the small blind. The action folded back to Rettenmaier, who went deep into the tank.

"I think I'm going to fold," he sighed. "Like I always do."

He did fold, and then asked if Ktorza would show.

"We both show," Ktozra said.

Rettenmaier agreed, and Fabian Quoss counted, "One...two...three!"

Ktorza showed queen-jack off, but Rettenmaier didn't reveal his hand.

"F***!" he blurted.

Ktorza then grabbed Rettenmaier's cards and revealed {a-Clubs}{4-Clubs}. The entire table burst into laughter - even Rettenmaier - and Ktorza raked in the pot.

Another Double For Cazals

After action folded to him on the button, Aubin Cazals moved all in for 145,000 and received a call from Marvin Rettenmaier in the big blind.

Showdown
Cazals: {K-Spades}{9-Diamonds}
Rettenmaier: {K-Hearts}{4-Hearts}

"That's ok," Rettenmaier said when the {6-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} flop opened up some chop outs. "That's not," he added when the dealer burned and turned the {7-Diamonds}. When the {3-Hearts} peeled off on the river, Rettenmaier didn't say a word and silently paid off his opponent.

Gurgen Melkonyan Eliminated in 11th Place (€25,000)

Gurgen Melkonyan
Gurgen Melkonyan

Action folded to a short-stacked Gurgen Melkonyan in the cutoff and he mvoed all in for 244,000. Marvin Rettenmaier was next to act and isolated from the button by moving all in over the top. Both blinds folded and Melkonyan discovered the bad news.

Showdown
Melkonyan: {A-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}
Rettenmaier: {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}

Melkonyan's kicker had him in bad shape, and the {Q-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} flop made it even worse as Rettenmaier paired up. The {5-Clubs} turn gave Melkonyan some slim hope to a wheel, but the {5-Diamonds} river would not complete it. With that, Melkonyan exited the tournament floor in 11th place.

Small One For Juha

Fabian Quoss min-raised to 40,000 under the gun and picked up one caller in the former of Finland's Juha Helppi in the hijack. Quoss proceeded to check-call a bet of 40,000 on the {7-Hearts}{6-Spades}{Q-Clubs} flop, and then both players checked the {5-Hearts} turn.

When the {4-Spades} appeared on the river, Quoss checked for a third time and Helppi took the opportunity to bet approximately 115,000, which was enough to take down the pot.

Fives Alive

Marvin Rettenmaier opened to 42,000 from under the gun, Sorel Mizzi three-bet to 102,000 from the hijack seat, and Rettenmaier called. The flop fell {10-Clubs}{3-Spades}{8-Hearts}, and Rettenmaier check-called 86,000 from Mizzi.

Both players checked on the turn ({7-Clubs}) and the river ({2-Clubs}). Mizzi flipped over {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}, but Rettenmaier had that beat with {5-Diamonds}{5-Spades}.
