Billard Doubles!

Level 20 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

Mark Radoja made it 120,000 and Francois Billard came over the top all in for under 500,000.

It folded back to Radoja and he called with the {a-Hearts}{3-Spades}, slightly ahead of Billard's {k-Clubs}{j-Spades}.

However, the board rolled out {6-Hearts}{7-Spades}{5-Spades}{j-Clubs}{3-Hearts} giving Billard a bigger pair and the timely double up.

In the hijack, Dominik Nitsche raised to 120,000. Mark Radoja in the cutoff three-bet to 300,000 and Demetrio Barreca in the small blind shoved all in for about 1.35 million. Nitsche folded, Radoja instantly called.

Demetrio Barreca: {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}
Mark Radoja: {K-Hearts}{K-Spades}

Radoja had gotten kings back to back, while Nitsche claimed to have folded pocket eights. The board ran out {7-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{K-Diamonds} and Barreca left the tournament with a pained face in 6th place.

The remaining players are guaranteed €66,480.

Level 20 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

Senh Ung

Under the gun, Jeff Rossiter shoved all in for 830,000 and action folded to Senh Ung in the hijack. He called all in for 790,000 and Dominik Nitsche folded the cutoff. Charlie Carrel in the small blind folded out of turn before Mark Radoja on the button shoved over the top. In the big blind, Demetrio Barreca had a real decision but ultimately he folded, claiming to have had nines.

Jeff Rossiter: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}
Senh Ung: {J-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}
Mark Radoja: {K-Spades}{K-Clubs}

The board ran out {9-Spades}{4-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} and both Rossiter and Ung hit the rail, while Radoja collected all the chips.

"Nice laddering" Charlie Carrel said to Paul Tedeschi who only had about 3 big blinds but jumped to a guaranteed pay day of €51,800.

Demetrio Barreca made it 150,000 and Jeff Rossiter three-bet behind him, bumping it to 400,000.

It folded back to Barreca and he promptly shoved in for a little under 800,000. Rossiter made the quick call with the {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts} and Barreca was flipping for his tournament life holding the {q-Clubs}{q-Hearts}.

Queens spiked a set on the {q-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{5-Clubs}{a-Spades}{7-Spades} board and Barreca doubled.

Small Pots, No Flops

Level 20 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

It's still 8-handed, hardly any flops have been seen. It's mostly preflop play right now, with Jeff Rossiter pushing the action so far. He has been all in several times and while nobody has called, he has chipped up gathering the blinds and big antes.

Viacheslav Goryachev
Viacheslav Goryachev

Charlie Carrel put in an early position raise and Viacheslav Goryachev made the call.
