Radek Stockner Eliminated in 10th Place (€54,900)

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Radek Stockner
Radek Stockner

Stockner was extremely short after the last hand and needed to get lucky.

Zdravko Duvnjak opened the button and Radek Stockner shoved all in for a little bit more from the small blind. Julian Track in the big blind made the call and Duvnjak handed over the additional chips as well.

Track and Duvnjak checked out the entire hand with {9-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{4-Spades}{A-Diamonds} on the table. Stockner couldn't table the best hand, his {Q-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} was beaten by Duvnjak's {A-Clubs}{8-Spades}. Track mucked his {Q-Spades}{6-Spades} and the tournament was down to 9 players just like that.

Duvnjak Doubles, Stockner Extremely Short

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

From the small blind Zdravko Duvnjak shoved all in. Radek Stockner made the call from the big blind and a 1,019,000 pot was there. Stockner had the best hand with {K-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} but Duvnjak was live with {Q-Spades}{9-Spades}.

The Dutchman flopped some additional outs with {10-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{2-Spades}, but the {6-Diamonds} on the turn didn't help him yet. The {9-Hearts} on the river did though and Stockner had to hand over most of his chips.

Erwann Pecheux Eliminated in 11th Place (€54,900)

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Erwann Pecheux
Erwann Pecheux

There is no let-up in the pace of eliminations and this time it’s Erwann Pecheux who’s seen his deep run end just short of the final table.

In his exit hand Stephen Chidwick opened to 90,000 from the cut-off, Pecheux shoved for 900,000 from the small blind and Chidwick called it off.

Pecheux: {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}
Chidwick: {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}

The {10-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{Q-Diamonds} board saw Chidwick outdraw Pecheux and we’re now down to 10 players. With one more elimination the players will gather round the feature table for the unofficial final table.

Ori Hasson Eliminated in 12th Place (€49,200)

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Ori Hasson
Ori Hasson

Hasson was short and had no other option than to push under the gun with {A-Clubs}{10-Spades}. His next door neighbor Ka Kwan Lau asked for a count, and eventually made the call. The other players didn't fall for the trap set up bij Lau, they all folded. Lau showed {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds} and was the massive favorite.

The {3-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{4-Hearts} flop wasn't all that bad for Hasson and the {10-Clubs} on the turn even made him so more outs. The {J-Hearts} on the river was a blank though and Hasson left the tournament. That one huge flip with Track costed him in the end, Hasson eliminated in 12th place.

Andrew Chen Eliminated in 13th Place (€49,200)

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Andrew Chen
Andrew Chen

Down to just over 20 big blinds Andrew Chen three-bet all in for 804,000 from the cut-off over the top of Georgios Sotiropoulos’s under-the-gun open. After getting confirmation on Chen’s stack, Sotiropoulos made the call.

Chen: {A-Spades}{J-Spades}
Sotiropoulos: {8-Spades}{8-Clubs}

The {J-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} flop looked to have ended the hand there and then, but the {A-Hearts} turn card gave Chen some river outs. But, the {Q-Spades} was not one of them and we lose him in 13th place. After that hand Sotiropoulos is up to 3,800,000.

Track is the New Chip Leader!

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Julian Track
Julian Track

The biggest pot of the tournament so far just played out on the feature table.

The confrontation started with Track who made it 86,000 from the button. Ori Hasson in the small blind three bet to 265,000 and the big blind folded. Action back on Track who four bet to 600,000. Hasson wasn't done just yet and shoved all in. Track called and slammed down his {10-Spades}{10-Clubs} on the table. Track was up against {A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} and the biggest coinflip of their lives was at hand.

{9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{6-Spades} on the board, nothing worrying for Track yet. {9-Spades} on the turn, still no problems. {6-Clubs} on the river - the biggest pot going to Germany. Hasson is down to just a couple of blinds.

Dimitri Holdeew Eliminated in 15th Place (€44,300)

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Dimitri Holdeew
Dimitri Holdeew

Dimitri Holdeew’s amazing Prague run has come to an end as he’s just been knocked out of the EPT Main Event. It folded to the Eureka Poker Tour Main Event winner in the small blind and he moved all in for his final 660,000 with {A-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}. In the big blind Stephen Chidwick took a peak at his cards, then announced call and rolled over {Q-Clubs}{J-Clubs}.

The {Q-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{K-Clubs} gave Chidwick the lead but Holdeew had plenty of outs. He had even more after the {8-Hearts} hit the turn, but he missed them all on the {7-Hearts} river. Chidiwick, who is now up to around 3,400,000 got some revenge as Holdeew had eliminated him in third place in the Eureka Poker Tour Main Event.
