Day 1 Chip Leader Dominik Nitsche Eliminated in 26th Place (€17,950)

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

We didn't get the hand but Ben Heath filled us in on the details.

Nitsche raised and William Arruda in the big blind defended. The German put out a continuation bet on {a-}{9-}{5-} rainbow, and the big blind called. Nitsche barrelled on the {2-} on the turn and William Arruda shoved on him. Nitsche showed {a-}{j-}, but Arruda had out flopped him holding {a-}{9-}. The river bricked and Nitsche was out the door.

Francois Billard Eliminated in 25th Place (€17,950)

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

The previous hand, Francois Billard had shoved for just over 100,000 chips and he would do so again for just over 120,000. This time, Felix Bleiker snap-called and that for a very good reason.

Billard: {A-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}
Bleiker: {A-Clubs}{A-Hearts}

The board ran out {10-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{4-Spades} and Billard headed to the payout desk.

Joao Vieira Eliminated in 23rd Place (€19,740)

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

Joao Vieira raised to 18,000 from the button and Sylvain Loosli called from the small blind. The flop came {8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{3-Spades} and Loosli check-raised from 18,000 to 45,000 with the Portuguese coming along. The {6-Spades} appeared on the turn and Loosli moved all in to put Vieira at risk for approximately 150,000 chips.

Vieira tanked for some time and the clock was called, with a few seconds remaining he tossed in a chip.

Vieira: {K-Clubs}{K-Hearts}
Loosli: {8-Hearts}{9-Hearts}

The {4-Clubs} river was a blank and Vieira headed to the rail in 23rd place.

Luiz Duarte Eliminated in 22nd Place (€19,740)

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

The magic comeback of Luiz Duarte from one big blind to almost 50 big blinds found a sudden end after a raising war with Sergey Lebedev. The Russian raised and then four-bet shoved from early position, Duarte three-bet and then called all in out of the big blind for a massive flip.

Duarte: {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}
Lebedev: {J-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}

On top of the two over cards, Duarte also picked up a flush draw on the flop {7-Spades}{4-Hearts}{3-Hearts}, but neither the {5-Diamonds} turn and {7-Diamonds} river blanked out to bust Duarte in 22nd place.

Arne Coulier Eliminated in 21st Place (€19,740)

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Arne Coulier
Arne Coulier

The last hand of the previous level turned into a big one. Arne Coulier opened from under the gun, Christoph Vogelsang then three-bet to 59,000 from the button and Coulier jammed for what looked like 282,000. Vogelsang called and once again it was a flip.

Coulier: {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}
Vogelsang: {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}

The flop {A-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} improved Vogelsang and Coulier was ready to go. Neither the {4-Diamonds} turn nor the {4-Spades} river improved the Belgian and he headed to the payout desk after turning an entry via satellite into a payday of €19,740.

Jacob Bazeley Eliminated in 20th Place (€21,530)

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Jacob Bazeley
Jacob Bazeley

Christoph Vogelsang defended his big blind against a raise by Jacob Bazeley from the cutoff and then check-raised the {9-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} flop with Bazeley making the call. Just under 200,000 chips were in the middle when the {10-Clubs} hit on the turn. Vogelsang bet 275,000 to put Bazeley all in and the latter called for 203,000.

Bazeley: {K-Spades}{K-Diamonds}
Vogelsang: {K-Clubs}{5-Clubs}

A bluff turned into a flush draw and it got even worse for Bazeley when the {J-Clubs} river completed the board to give Vogelsang a flush. The expression on Bazeley's face spoke for itself while he collected the belongings and headed out of the tournament area.

Marco Leonzio Eliminated in 19th Place (€21,530)

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Marco Leonzio
Marco Leonzio

Marco Leonzio moved all in from under the gun and Ryan Riess from one seat over asked for a count. It was 146,000 to go and Riess then announced all in himself. The action folded around to Jason Mercier in the small blind and he asked Riess for the stack as well.

"Around 420k," Riess said. Mercier asked the dealer for an exact count and it was indeed very close to that number, 421,000 to be exact. Mercier moved all in as well and Jeff Gross folded his big blind.

Leonzio: {A-Diamonds}{8-Spades}
Riess: {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}
Mercier: {A-Clubs}{K-Spades}

The board ran out {Q-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{3-Hearts} and Riess more than doubled up, busting Leonzio in 19th place as a result. Mercier sighed "just a one million chip pot" and was left super short.

Jason Mercier Eliminated in 18th Place (€21,530)

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Jason Mercier
Jason Mercier

The action folded around to Jason Mercier and he shoved all in for his last 31,000 from the cutoff. Jeff Gross moved all in from the button as well and that scared off everyone else.

Mercier: {4-Diamonds}{4-Spades}
Gross: {A-Hearts}{5-Hearts}

The run bad of the PokerStars Team Pro continued after a disastrous flop of {5-Clubs}{5-Spades}{2-Spades} and Mercier could not find one of the two remaining fours in the deck anymore. The {Q-Hearts} turn and {7-Diamonds} river sent him to the rail in 18th place.

Ryan Riess opened from the button and Ben Heath shoved from the small blind for roughly 200,000. Riess made the call.

Riess: {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs}
Heath: {a-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}

The board ran out {q-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{3-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{2-Spades} and Heath headed to the rail where his close friend and Single Day High Roller champion Charlie Carrel was waiting for him.
