Bonzon Doubles, Kenney Short

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

Bryn Kenney open shoved his last 610,000 to the middle acting out of the cutoff. Action folded to big blind Michael Bonzon and he called all in for his remaining 465,000.

Bryn Kenney: {K-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}
Michael Bonzon: {A-Clubs}{9-Clubs}

The flop was good for Bonzon with {6-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}, but he was still very nervous and got up from the table. The {8-Hearts} on the turn was safe for him, and so was the {4-Hearts} on the river, so he sat down again. Double up for Bonzon, Kenney now very short.

Peters Folds; Kenney Doubles

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

From under the gun, Bryn Kenney shoved for his last 125,000 and the action folded around to Murad Akhundov. The player from Azerbaijan reshoved to isolate and they tabled their cards.

Kenney: {A-Spades}{9-Clubs}
Akhundov: {Q-Clubs}{9-Spades}

The flop {J-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} gave Akhundov a gutshot, but none of his outs came with the {5-Hearts} turn and {8-Spades} river as last two community cards.

On table two, Fedor Holz open-shoved into the big blind of David Peters at the same time and the latter folded.

O'Dwyer Doubles Badziakouski

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

Action folded to Steve O'Dwyer and he pushed all in to put the pressure on Mikita Badziakouski. Badziakouski had 600,000 total (10 big blinds) and tanked for a fair bit before committing his chips.

Mikita Badziakouski: {A-Spades}{9-Diamonds}
Steve O'Dwyer: {J-Diamonds}{4-Spades}

The board ran out {5-Spades}{6-Spades}{8-Clubs}{2-Spades}{2-Hearts} and Badziakouski doubled up.

Updated Counts Table 1

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

Fabian Quoss raised to 125,000 from under the gun and picked up a call by Fedor Holz in the small blind. On the {K-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{5-Spades} flop both players checked, as did on the {5-Diamonds} turn. On the {J-Hearts} river, Holz bet small for 105,000 and Quoss called to muck when shown {A-Clubs}{J-Clubs} by Holz.

One hand later, Ole Schemion shoved the cutoff and Quoss folded the {2-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} in the big blind.

Peters Doubles Through Silver

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

David Peters moved all in from under the gun and Max Silver asked for a count on the button. Once it was determined to be 460,000, he shoved and the blinds got out of the way.

Peters: {Q-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}
Silver: {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}

A few days ago, Peters bubbled the €10,000 High Roller but he avoided a repeat for now thanks to a board of {J-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{3-Spades}{J-Hearts} to leave Silver on the short stack.

Bryn Kenney Eliminated in 11th Place

Bryn Kenney open shoved his last 380,000 in from the hijack. On the button, Mikita Badziakouski asked for a count and asked how much big blind Murad Akhundov was playing (200,000). He then moved in and both blinds folded.

Mikita Badziakouski: {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs}
Bryn Kenney: {A-Clubs}{2-Spades}

The {4-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{10-Clubs} flop was good for Kenney, but the {8-Spades} on the turn and {9-Diamonds} on the river were both blanks and Kenney made his exit in 9th place.

Max Silver Bubbles!

Level 21 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante
Max Silver bubbles the EPT 12 Grand Final €50,000 Single-Day Super High Roller
Max Silver bubbles the EPT 12 Grand Final €50,000 Single-Day Super High Roller

While Bryn Kenney was eliminated, Max Silver was standing up from his chair while facing a raise to 180,000 by Fedor Holz while on the big blind. Silver had less than five big blinds himself and then said "this could be it," peeking at his cards again. He then shoved and Holz snap-called.

Silver: {A-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}
Holz: {A-Clubs}{7-Hearts}

The board ran out {A-Spades}{6-Hearts}{3-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{8-Spades} and the kicker problem resulted in the stone cold bubble and almost €100,000 in prize money, as the Brit has officially bubbled the tournament.

There will now be a quick break for the redraw and counts!

Play Resumes

Level 21 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

With 25 minutes on the clock in level 40,000/80,000 (10,000 ante) play is underway again. Fedor Holz has a commanding chip lead with about a third of the chips in play, but levels are short and stacks are volatile.
