Deveson Takes Out Russell

Level 26 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Matthew Russell
Matthew Russell

According to the chatter at the table, Matthew Russell opened from middle position and Max Deveson defended from the big blind.

The flop came {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}{2-Spades} and Deveson check-called a bet from Russell. The turn came the {q-Diamonds} and Deveson check-called another bet from Russell. The {6-Diamonds} river filled up the board and Russell moved all in. Deveson made the call.

Russell tabled {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades} for aces and kings but that wasn't good enough as Deveson revealed {j-Spades}{10-Spades} for broadway to win the pot, eliminating Russell from the tournament.

The remaining 24 players are now redrawing for the final three tables.

Level 26 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Edmond Saber was all in and at risk for 480,000 against Alen Alencar.

Edmond Saber: {a-Hearts}{q-Spades}
Alen Alencar: {a-Diamonds}{5-Spades}

The {a-Spades}{k-Spades}{9-Diamonds} flop and {6-Diamonds} turn were safe to Saber, but the {5-Clubs} on the river prompted many "ooooh's" from the table. Saber took his defeat in good spirits and headed off to collect €12,350.

Alexandre Reard: {j-Hearts}{9-Spades}
Alin Mitrache: {k-Spades}{10-Hearts}

The window card was the {10-Spades} and it was accompanied by the {j-Spades} and {j-Clubs} to give Reard the better hand. The turn was the {8-Diamonds} and the river the {3-Diamonds} and Reard managed to double up.

Mitrache failed to eliminate Reard after he eliminated Georgios Karakousis moments earlier.
