Martin Finger Eliminated in 24th Place (€17,250)

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Martin Finger
Martin Finger

Ariel Mantel opened under the gun plus two to 12,500. A couple positions down, Martin Finger in the cutoff made it 27,500. The button and both blinds folded but Mantel pushed all in. Finger called immediately, putting himself at risk as Mantel had 16,500 more than him.

Finger tabled {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts} and needed to hit against Mantel's {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}. The {9-Hearts}{3-Spades}{5-Spades}{10-Spades}{9-Spades} board never gave Finger anything but low cards.

No hit for Finger who exited the tournament in 23rd place for €17,250. All other players are now guaranteed €18,950.

More for Vieira

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Joao Vieira
Joao Vieira

Joao Vieira showed just how powerful stack size and position are in a recent pot that he took down.

He opened to 12,000 on the button, Emil Ohlsson three-bet to 29,000 from the small blind only for Ivan Soshnikov to four-bet to 62,000 from the big blind. Back on Vieira he asked for a look at Soshnikov's stack - the Russian had 230,000 back - and then slid out a five-bet of 108,000 total.

The Russian went into the tank, indeed Vieira had enough and called the clock, the tournament director got all the way down to two seconds before Soshnikov mucked his hand.

Kent Lundmark Eliminated in 21st Place (€18,950)

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Kent Lundmark
Kent Lundmark

Dimitar Danchev opened under the gun plus one with a min-raise to 16,000. Action folded to Kent Kundmark in the big blind. He checked his cards and didn't really seem to have that big of a decision. He pushed his short stack to the middle and as soon as Danchev found out how much more to him it was, he called.

It was a coin flip situation with Lundmark holding {A-Spades}{J-Hearts} and {5-Spades}{5-Hearts} for Danchev. The ace jack gained some additional outs on the turn but other than that, not really any excitement on the board: {2-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{3-Hearts}.

Danchev added some chips to his stack, Lundmark another cash to his palmarès.

Bryn Kenney Doubles Through Dimitar Danchev

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Bryn Kenney
Bryn Kenney

A monstrous pot just went down between Bryn Kenney and Dimitar Danchev and I'm pretty sure it's going to stick in Danchev's mind for a while.

Kenney opened to 20,000 from middle position, Danchev three-bet to 53,000 from the small blind, back on Kenney he four-bet to 95,000, Danchev then five-bet to 183,000, Kenney six-bet all-in for 395,000 and Danchev snap called.

Kenney: {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs}
Danchev: {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds}

The {5-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{J-Clubs} flop gave Kenney a gutshot straight draw and a backdoor flush draw. The {4-Spades} turn left him drawing to just four outs and he duly pinged one on the {Q-Clubs} river. Nobody at the table made a sound throughout the entire hand as they'd no dobut seen in a thousand times before.

After that hand Kenney is up to 800,000 whilst Danchev slips to 210,000.

Bryn Bets Big

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Max Heinzelmann opened the button to 20,000 and got a call from Bryn Kenney in the big blind. {9-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{10-Spades} on the flop and Bryn check called a 23,000 continuation bet from his German opponent.

Both players continued to check the {4-Clubs} on the turn and thus it was time for a free river: {4-Clubs}. Kenney bet out 122,000 and got an almost instant call from Heinzelmann.

Kenney tabled his {5-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} for a turned two pair and Heinzelmann mucked.
