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.

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.
