and was racing against the 
of the start-of-the-day chip leader, Tom Middleton.
The 
flop didn't hit Nielsen directly, but it did give him a wheel draw. The turn wasn't a deuce, but it was the . Nielsen, who is a very emotional player, spiked one of his cards and subdued a celebration by shaking his first. He then waited patiently for the river to be run out, which was the harmless 
.

Florian-Dimitrie Duta Eliminated in 21st Place (€34,950)
Level 25
: 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante
Pasi Sormunen opened the action for 60,000 from middle position only to have Florian-Dimitrie Duta three-bet to 140,000 from the cutoff. Action folded back around to Sormunen, he made the call, and the flop came down 
.
Sormunen checked, Duta bet 135,000 and Sormunen let his inner Finn out by moving all in. Duta nonchalantly called off for 861,000 total and the cards were turned up.
Sormunen: 
Duta: 
Duta got it in with the best hand, but one card later he'd be drawing dead as the 
turn gave Sormunen his straight. The meaningless river was put out for good measure, and Duta took his leave in 21st place for €34,950.

Tens Hold for Feenstra
Level 25
: 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante
The preflop details escaped us, but we do know that Rens Feenstra was all in preflop for 878,000 and was racing against Valentino Konakchiev.
Feenstra: 
Konakchiev: 
The 
flop was safe for Feenstra, and the 
turn actually improved him to a set. With that said, Konakchiev was still looking for paint, though instead of a king and jack, he now needed a queen to make Broadway.
Fortunately for Feenstra and his supporters on the rail, the river wasn't a lady. The chips were counted down and Konakchiev was left with just half a million after the hand.
