Level 16 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

Ramin Hajiyev raised to 70,000 from early position and Steve O'Dywer called on the button. On the {8-Clubs}{7-Spades}{4-Spades} flop, Hajiyev continued for 80,000 and O'Dwyer called before the duo checked the {A-Hearts} on the turn.

Hajiyev's bet was worth 240,000 on the {8-Spades} river was called by O'Dwyer and he then mucked when Hajiyev showed him {Q-Spades}{J-Spades} for a flush.

Newey Doubles Through Hajiyev

Level 16 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

In the first hand after coming back from the break, the action folded to Ramin Hajiyev and he open-shoved from the button into the two short stacks Paul Newey and Pablo Fernandez in the blinds. Newey called all in and Fernandez folded.

Paul Newey: {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts}
Ramin Hajiyev: {A-Spades}{9-Hearts}

The board ran out {Q-Clubs}{8-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{7-Spades} and Newey joked "no nine on the river this time," doubling up for 205,000.

Early Break and Final Table Draw to Come

Level 16 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

The last nine players will now combine to one table and take an early 20-minute break that was previously scheduled for the end of this level. Furthermore, the T-1,000 chips will be raced off as they are no longer needed. Paul Newey and Charlie Carrel are among the shortest stacks and made back-to-back High Roller final tables at the EPT13 Prague festival.

Koray Aldemir Eliminated in 10th Place (€50,840)

Level 16 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante
Koray Aldemir
Koray Aldemir

Steve O'Dwyer raised to 65,000 from the cutoff and Koray Aldemir moved all in from the button. The blinds released their cards and O'Dwyer asked for a count. Aldemir's shove was for 406,000 in total and O'Dwyer called half a minute later.

Koray Aldemir: {A-Spades}{J-Clubs}
Steve O'Dwyer: {K-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}

The German was ahead preflop, but that suddenly changed on the {Q-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} flop. On the {7-Hearts} turn, Aldemir was drawing to three outs only, and the {2-Diamonds} river was none of them to reduce the field to the last nine. Aldemir takes home €50,840 for his efforts, while the nine finalists have €57,950 guaranteed for their efforts.

Igor Yaroshevskyy moved all in from the button and Isaac Haxton folded in the small blind. Adrian Mateos glanced over at the tournament info and asked for a count. The all in was for 146,000 and Mateos took one minute before tossing in the chips for the call.

Igor Yaroshevskyy: {A-Spades}{7-Hearts}
Adrian Mateos: {J-Hearts}{5-Clubs}

The flop of {8-Spades}{6-Spades}{4-Diamonds} gave both players a gutshot, but Yaroshevskyy was still ahead with ace-high. On the {J-Diamonds} turn, Mateos improved to a pair of jacks and the {J-Clubs} river even made that trips to eliminate Yaroshevskyy as first player in the money.

Level 15 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante
Oleksii Khoroshenin
Oleksii Khoroshenin

Action folded to EPT Vienna champion Oleksii Khoroshenin in the small blind and he moved all in. Big blind Steve O'Dwyer only needed a short glance at his cards to make the call. The action was freezed but would soon resume as the hand on the other table was done a couple of seconds later.

Oleksii Khoroshenin: {Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs}
Steve O'Dwyer: {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}

Floor person Kate Badurek almost had no time to announce the cards as the dealer fired the flop and turn rapidly: {A-Spades}{6-Spades}{9-Clubs}{3-Hearts}.

Khoroshenin needed a queen on the river but wouldn't get it. Instead the {A-Hearts} popped up and Khoroshenin made his exit.

The remaining 11 players are in the money and guaranteed €50,840.
