Hands #1-4: Calamusa Chips Up

Level 28 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

Hand #1: Dario Sammartino received a walk in the big blind.

Hand #2: Oren Rosen raised with {A-Spades}{7-Clubs} under the gun plus three to 140,000 and Dario Sammartino looked down at {K-Hearts}{J-Hearts} in the small blind. Sammartino called, and Jimmy Guerrero folded from the big blind.

The flop brought out {3-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{K-Clubs} and Sammartino checked to Rosen who checked behind. The turn was the {9-Diamonds} and Sammartino bet 255,000, and Rosen folded.

Hand #3: Dario Sammartino raised with {8-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} from the button to 150,000 and Jimmy Guerrero called from the small blind with {7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}, and Pierre Calamus called with {8-Clubs}{5-Clubs} from the big blind.

The flop brought out {A-Spades}{K-Hearts}{10-Hearts} and both blinds checked to Sammartino who checked behind. On the turn the {8-Diamonds} hit and Guerrero checked to Calamusa who bet 200,000, and Sammartino folded. Guerrero folded, and Calamusa picked up this pot.

Hand #4: Oren Rosen raised under the gun plus one with {A-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} to 140,000, and Pierre Calamusa called from the small blind with {A-Spades}{8-Spades}. The flop brought out {6-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{5-Diamonds} and Calamusa checked to Rosen who checked behind. The turn brought the {A-Hearts} and again both players checked.

The river brought out the {8-Clubs} and Calamusa lead out for 250,000, and Rosen thought for a long time before making the call. Calamusa showed two pair and raked in the pot.

Hands #5-8: Small Pots

Level 28 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

Hand #5: Asan Umarov got {7-Spades}{7-Clubs} in middle position and raised to 125,000.

"How much you play in the beginning?" Jimmy Guerrero asked before folding.

In the small blind, Adrien Allain three-bet to 375,000 holding {K-Clubs}{J-Spades} and Umarov made the call.

The flop came {J-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} and Allain 300,000 into the 900,000 pot. Umarov called.

The {3-Clubs} on the turn saw another bet by Allain, 675,000 into 1.5 million this time. Umarov tanked for some time before laying it down.

Hand #6: Adrien Allain opened {Q-Spades}{5-Spades} on the button for 135,000. Both blinds folded and Allain took down the blinds and antes.

Hand #7: Action folded to Antoine Saout on the button and holding {A-Spades}{8-Spades} he shoved all in. Oren Rosen folded his {K-Spades}{10-Clubs} from the small blind right away, but Ben Philipps in the big blind found {K-Hearts}{Q-Spades} and tanked a bit longer. Philipps eventually folded anyway and Saout made the call.

Hand #8: Pierre Calamusa found {J-Hearts}{4-Hearts} and made it 135,000. Action folded to big blind Jan Bendik and he called with the {A-Clubs}{6-Clubs}.

The flop came {10-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}and Bendik checked. Calamusa bet 150,000 into 390,000 and Bendik folded.

Hand #9: Pierre Calamusa found a better hand with {6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} this time and again made it 135,000 to go.

Ben Philipps on the button shoved all in for 1,070,000 with {K-Diamonds}{J-Spades}. Calamusa asked how much it was, and called after thinking about it for a bit.

The flop came {10-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{8-Hearts}, doing nothing yet for Philipps. 28% equity dropped down to 20% with the {10-Diamonds} on the turn.

The {4-Clubs} fell on the river and Philipps bubbled the final table, going out in 9th for €71,620. The remaining 8 finalists are guaranteed €91,860 from here on out.

Hand #10: Jimmy Guerrero raised under the gun with {A-Spades}{5-Spades} to 135,000 and Asan Umarov looked down on {A-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} in the small blind. After tanking for quite some time he folded, and Dario Sammartino gave up {Q-Spades}{6-Hearts} in the big blind.

Hand #11: Antoine Saout found {K-Hearts}{Q-Spades} under the gun plus two and raised to 120,000.

Hand #12: Jan Bendik raised from the hijack with {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs} to 135,000 and Pierre Calamusa called with {8-Hearts}{7-Hearts} from the big blind. The flop brought out {10-Hearts}{5-Spades}{K-Diamonds} and Calamusa checked right away.

The flop came {8-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{3-Clubs}, still good for Saout. The {10-Clubs} on the turn sealed the deal for Saout and the {9-Clubs} on the river made things official. Double up for the former November Niner.
