Hansen bet 750,000 after he tanked for a couple of minutes. Kassouf went into the tank for minutes before Hansen eventually called the clock on him. With about 20 seconds left to act, Kassouf folded the pot to Hansen.

Level 30 : 80,000/160,000, 20,000 ante
Paul Leckey
Paul Leckey

Patrick Serda raised to 350,000 from the button before Paul Leckey three-bet jammed all-in for 1,300,000 from the big blind. Serda quickly tossed in one chip to call.

Paul Leckey: {a-Hearts}{3-Spades}
Patrick Serda: {A-Spades}{Q-Clubs}

Leckey, who was already behind, got no help from the {6-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{10-Spades} flop to catch up. Serda commented to his opponent, "If you are going to stand up, stand up on the turn."

Leckey stood up, but it didn't change his fate. The {10-Hearts} and {7-Spades} were unable to improve his hand for a chop or a win and Leckey was eliminated in sixth place for €224,600.

Level 30 : 80,000/160,000, 20,000 ante

At the end of the previous level, Tue Ullerup Hansen defended his big blind against a raise by William Kassouf and check-folded a jack-high flop to get shown {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs} by Kassouf.

Some table talk by Kassouf followed and he then bet 575,000, Serda snap-called. Kassouf showed {A-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} for nines and sevens, which Serda had beat with {K-Spades}{10-Diamonds} for a straight to take over the lead.
