Nicolas Vayssieres: {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}

Beekhuis was ahead as the flop came {4-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{3-Hearts}. The turn was the {4-Diamonds} and the river came the {k-Hearts} to give Beekhuis the winning hand.

"The bingo continues," said Beekhuis, referring to the amusing shove or fold nature of the tournament at this point as he collected the big double.

Sebastian Juhlen Eliminated in 13th Place (€21,950)

Level 31 : 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
Sebastian Juhlen
Sebastian Juhlen

After losing a pot that left him short-stacked, Sebastian Juhlen moved all-in from the cutoff for his last 550,000, Thomas Lhomme moved in behind on the button for 1,600,000, and Jacobo Montoya woke up with a hand in the big blind and called with more to put both players at risk.

Sebastian Juhlen: {10-Spades}{8-Spades}
Thomas Lhomme: {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}
Jacobo Montoya: {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}

The dealer spread a flop of {6-Spades}{5-Hearts}{8-Clubs} to give some help to Juhlen, pairing his eight, but the {6-Hearts} on the turn and the {7-Spades} on the river brought no further help and he was eliminated.

Meanwhile, Lhomme's kings ended up earning a near triple-up, and Montoya was left with the short stack.

Alexis Nicolai Eliminated in 12th Place (€21,950)

Level 32 : 100,000/200,000, 250,000 ante
Alexis Nicolai
Alexis Nicolai

Jacobo Montoya limped for 200,000 in the cutoff, leaving himself 30,000 behind. That would prove to be a very wise and profitable decision, because Alexis Nicolai moved all-in on the button for a little over 2,000,000 and Thomas Lhomme moved in over top for more.

Lhomme then turned over his hand {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}, not realizing Jacobo was still in the hand.

Jacobo couldn't believe his situation, but folded, and left himself the 30,000 in hopes that Nicolai would be eliminated, giving him a pay jump. Nicolai's hand was then revealed,

Alexis Nicolai: {a-Clubs}{j-Spades}
Thomas Lhomme: {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}

The board came {2-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{5-Spades}{q-Hearts} and indeed Nicolai was eliminated, while Jacobo's 30,000 behind earned him that pay jump.

Jacobo Montoya was down to one big blind and was all in prelfop. Ermanno Di Nicola was in the small blind and the cards were turned over.

The flop came {5-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} the turn was the {2-Diamonds} and the river was the {4-Clubs} to bring in the wheel for Di Nicola and deny Montoya a chance at a miraculous spin up.
