The river came the {K-Hearts} and Mandavia checked. Boeree again thought about it, scratched her nose, and checked behind. Mandavia showed {A-}{8-}, Boeree took it down with {A-Spades}{K-Spades}.

Aces for Streltsou on the Bubble

Level 17 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante

Andrei Streltsou raised to 60,000 and Farid Jattin three-bet to 140,000, to which Streltsou moved all in. Jattin called for 528,000 total and the showdown went as following.

Jattin: {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}
Streltsou: {A-Spades}{A-Hearts}

The board ran out {3-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} and Streltsou was clearly relieved to see his aces hold up. Meanwhile, Jattin still has a big stack and nothing to worry about on the money bubble.

Saade Eliminated in 25th Place

Level 17 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante
Pablo Saade
Pablo Saade

Pablo Saade first got lucky chopping a hand where he had {A-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} all in preflop against {A-Spades}{K-Spades}. The {10-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{6-Spades} flop didn't help him all that much but as soon as Isaac Haxton asked the dealer for a ten, the {10-Diamonds} hit the turn. The {7-Hearts} on the river was a blank and the two of them chopped it up.

The next hand it was all over anyway. Antonio Buonanno made it 60,000 under the gun and called Saade's 142,000 button shove. Buonanno had {K-Spades}{J-Clubs} while Saade tabled {7-Spades}{7-Diamonds}. The board ran out {2-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{2-Spades} and the tournament was down to 24 players.

After a redraw was done, play continued with just 3 tables. One more player will go home empty handed, all others will receive a minimum of €43,200.

Lucky Double Up for Greenwood

Level 17 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante

Sam Greenwood moved all in for 166,000 and Pablo Saade made the call from the big blind.

Greenwood: {A-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}
Saade: {K-Spades}{K-Clubs}

The flop brought out {7-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} and Greenwood pushed the ace forward, indicating he was looking for one. On the turn the {6-Diamonds} hit and again Greenwood pushed the ace forward. The river was indeed the {A-Hearts} and Greenwood hit two pair to stay alive in this event. Saade shook his head, and he's now the shortest stack in the tournament.

The board ran out {7-Clubs}{3-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{10-Clubs} and Fernandez doubled up.

Stani Finds Lucky Double

Level 17 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante

Jani Sointula moved in for 258,000 and the dealer tossed him the all in triangle. Action folded to Kevin Stani in the small blind and he made it 90,000 as he was under the impression it was folded to him. The floor came over and ruled that Stani had two options; call for 258,000 total, or fold. Raising wasn't allowed anymore. Stani decided to call and the big blind folded.

Kevin Stani: {3-Spades}{3-Hearts}
Jani Sointula: {A-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}

The flop came a harmless {2-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{8-Hearts}. The {3-Diamonds} on the turn was an interesting card as it gave Sointula a set but Stani a flush draw. The river {J-Spades} was a blank and Sointula doubled.

Hand for Hand

Level 17 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante

There has been a lot of stalling and so the floor has decided to start hand for hand, even though the tournament isn't on the bubble technically just yet. With still 25 players remaining, the clock was paused while the floor waited for all hands to finish. Hand for hand started just now.

Mark Teltscher
Mark Teltscher

We just witnessed the last part of a hand where Mark Teltscher would double. We arrived on the turn with the board showing {Q-Spades}{6-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}. Manuel Blaschke in the small blind bet 135,000, Mark Teltscher called from the big.

The river came the {J-Clubs} and Blaschke checked. Teltscher moved all in for 209,000 and after some tanking Blaschke called. Teltscher showed {Q-Hearts}{K-Clubs} and Blaschke mucked. The dealer turned over his hand because it was an all in situation, and revealed Blaschke's {10-Hearts}{3-Hearts}.
