Stephen Chidwick
Stephen Chidwick

The action folded to Stephen Chidwick in the small blind and he moved all in for 219,000 on Daniel Cates' big blind.

Cates tanked for a bit and said, "What a spot," as he sighed.

"You might be in trouble, dog," Cates added.

Then Cates called, and the showdown went as follows.

Cates: {Q-Hearts}{J-Spades}
Chidwick: {K-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}

The board ran out {Q-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{2-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{6-Hearts} and Chidwick was knocked out in 23rd place.

Simon Mattsson Eliminated in 21st Place

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Simon Mattsson
Simon Mattsson

Jaroslaw Sikora opened from the hijack and Simon Mattsson called from the small blind. So far no big action, but that would change on a flop of {Q-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}. Mattsson checked and Sikora made a continuation bet of 33,000. Mattsson check raised to 77,000 and Sikora called after some thinking.

The {10-Diamonds} hit the turn and Mattsson shoved all in for 244,000. Sikora wasn't happy about that and went deep into the tank. He cut out calling chips, counted how much he would have behind if he called and lost, and thought about it some more. He eventually did call and Mattsson showed first with a not too happy face.

Jaroslaw Sikora: {Q-Spades}{J-Diamonds}
Simon Mattsson: {4-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}

The {J-Hearts} on the river wasn't the right type of red for Mattsson and the Swede left in 21st place for €28,420. The remaining 20 players are now guaranteed €31,480.
