Moll Won't Bite as Sinclair Makes Flush

Level 34 : 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Jack Sinclair completed in the small blind and Silius Moll raised to around 1,200,000 from the big blind. Sinclair called.

Sinclair checked on the flop of {10-Clubs}{3-Spades}{9-Clubs} and Moll checked back. Sinclair checked again on the {k-Spades} turn and Moll again checked back.

Sinclair checked a third time on the {q-Clubs} river and Moll also checked. That was the right move as Sinclair tabled {6-Clubs}{4-Clubs} for a rivered flush to win the pot.

Gisle Olsen Eliminated in 14th Place (€24,220)

Level 33 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Gisle Olsen
Gisle Olsen

Leonardo Romeo opened to 500,000 from early position. On his left, Damir Savio moved all in for 2,850,000. Action folded to Gisle Olsen in the big blind who also moved all in, him for 3,575,000. Romeo snap-called for a three-way, all-in pot.

Gisle Olsen: {k-Spades}{j-Spades}
Damir Savio: {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}
Leonardo Romeo: {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}

Romeo was in golden position to knock out two players with the ultimate preflop cooler. The flop made things very interesting when the {10-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} came out, giving Olsen the open-ender. The unlikely {k-Hearts} hit the turn, giving Savio the one-outer to take the lead. The river fell the {3-Diamonds}.

"No, no, no, no, no," repeated Romeo, suffering another bad beat deep in the tournament. Savio raked the majority of the pot, Romeo got a small side pot, ad Olsen was eliminated.

Another Short-Stack Double as Guivarch Wounds Savio

Level 33 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Damir Savio faced a big decision in a heads-up pot against Quentin Guivarch on a board of {6-Spades}{8-Spades}{a-Spades}{6-Clubs}.

Guivarch had moved all in for 3,500,000 and Savio went deep into the tank before someone called the clock. As the clock wound down, Savio tossed in a call with a bigger stack.

Quentin Guivarch: {9-Clubs}{6-Hearts}
Damir Savio: {a-Clubs}{8-Clubs}

Guivarch was in front with trips and {9-Hearts} river only improved him to a full house to win earn him the double-up.

Robert Heidorn Eliminated in 15th Place (€24,220)

Level 33 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Robert Heidorn
Robert Heidorn

Jack Sinclair opened to 500,000 in middle position. On the button, Pieter Theelen made the call. In the small blind, Robert Heidorn went for a three-bet up to 2,500,000 off a stack of about 11,000,000.

Action folded back to Sinclair who thought for about a minute before announcing "all in." Theelen let his cards go, and action was back on Heidorn.

"Oh, Jackie boy," Heidorn said, pondering the big decision. He put in the call and the two were heading to the biggest pot of the tournament thus far.

Robert Heidorn: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}
Jack Sinclair: {q-Spades}{q-Hearts}

A classic flip for the chip lead. At risk, Heidorn was happy to see an ace in the window, but it was followed by something he wasn't happy about. The {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{5-Clubs}{10-Spades} gave Sinclair the full house, the chip lead, and about 25 percent of the chips in play, while Heidorn was eliminated.

Martinkovic Finds Miracle River to Double Through Romeo

Level 33 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Marko Martinkovic
Marko Martinkovic

Marko Martinkovic opened to 500,000 from the hijack and Silius Moll called in the small blind. In the big blind, Leonardo Romeo three-bet to 1,750,000.

Back on Martinkovic, he moved all in for 4,925,000. Moll got out of the way, but Romeo made the call.

Marko Martinkovic: {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}
Leonardo Romeo: {a-Hearts}{q-Spades}

Things looked bleak for Martinkovic when the {q-Hearts}{2-Spades}{9-Hearts} hit the board. The turn {10-Diamonds} left him drawing to two outs heading to the final cards. Luckily, the {7-Diamonds} hit the river just in time to give him the winner and secure the double at Romeo's cost.

Jensen Bernard Eliminated in 16th Place (€20,170)

Level 33 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Jensen Bernard
Jensen Bernard

Anton Suarez opened to 500,000 from the hijack and Jack Sinclair called on the button. Jensen Bernard then three-bet jammed from the big blind and only Sinclair called.

Jensen Bernard: {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}
Jack Sinclair: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}

Bernard had run into kings and didn't get any help from the runout of {2-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{9-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} to go out in 16th place for €20,170.

"Very trappy!" Suarez commented about Sinclair's preflop flat. "I thought he had sh*t!"

Sadly for those in the tournament area, Bernard's exit also marks the departure of two of the room's cutest and furriest characters.
