Ramiro Petrone Eliminated in 12th Place (€8,550)

Level 18 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Ramiro Petrone
Ramiro Petrone

Ramiro Petrone was all in and at risk against Joris Ruijs, who had him covered.

Ramiro Petrone: {j-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}
Joris Ruijs: {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}

The action flop of {10-Spades}{8-Clubs}{9-Spades} gave Ruijs a set but gave Petrone hope to stay alive with an open-ended straight draw. But the board then finished out {5-Diamonds}{5-Spades} to improve Ruijs to a board and send Petrone out in 12th place.

Jean-Noel Thorel Eliminated in 13th Place (€8,550)

Level 18 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Jean-Noel Thorel
Jean-Noel Thorel

Joris Ruijs opened to 50,000 from middle position and Jean-Noel Thorel defended the big blind.

The flop came {q-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{2-Hearts} and Thorel shoved in his remaining stack of approximately 100,000. Ruijs snap-called.

Jean-Noel Thorel: {k-Hearts}{j-Spades}
Joris Ruijs: {2-Spades}{2-Clubs}

Thorel had a flush draw against the bottom set, but it was all over as the {q-Diamonds} fell on the turn, and the meaningless {3-Diamonds} completed the board to eliminate the Frenchman in 13th place for €8,550.

Barbero, Brombim Eliminated on Money Bubble

Level 17 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Nacho Barbero
Nacho Barbero

Arthur Conan opened to 175,000 from middle position and Nacho Barbero moved all in from the hijack with 165,000. Dimitar Danchev then re-shoved from the small blind and Conan called off for 225,000 total.

Nacho Barbero: {j-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}
Arthur Conan: {k-Spades}{10-Spades}
Dimitar Danchev: {7-Clubs}{7-Hearts}

Barbero's jacks were still ahead after the {a-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{8-Hearts} flop and {8-Spades} turn, but the {k-Hearts} on the river gave Conan eights full of kings to win the pot, nearly triple, and eliminate Barbero.

At the other table, Paulo Brombim bowed out at the same time to burst the money bubble.

Thorel Folds Flop as Action Slows

Level 17 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Jean-Noel Thorel opened to 40,000 in early position and Joris Ruijs three-bet to 100,000 from the hijack. Thorel made the call.

Thorel checked on the {3-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{4-Hearts} flop and Ruijs fired a small bet of 30,000, about a tenth of the pot. Despite the small size, Thorel let his hand go.

Action has slowed significantly with the money bubble looming.

Pihela Makes the Right Call

Level 16 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Igor Pihela was out of position in a heads-up pot against Dimitar Danchev on a flop of {3-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}. Pihela checked and Danchev checked back.

Pihela led out for 35,000 on the {10-Diamonds} turn and Danchev called. Pihela then bet a small 28,000 on the {5-Diamonds} river and Danchev raised to 130,000. Pihela took about a minute and called.

Danchev showed {a-Spades}{j-Spades} for a pair of aces, but he was out-kicked by the {a-Hearts}{k-Spades} of Pihela to lose the pot.

Vahe Martirosyan
Vahe Martirosyan

Vahe Martirosyan moved all in for 47,000 from early position, Igor Pihela flatted in the hijack, Bruno Volkmann flatted on the button, and Dimitar Danchev raised to 275,000 in the small blind to force out the opponents.

Vahe Martirosyan: {k-Hearts}{8-Spades}
Dimitar Danchev: {q-Spades}{10-Hearts}

Martirosyan was in the lead and had an opportunity to quadruple his stack, but the board ran out {a-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{6-Clubs}{2-Hearts} to eliminate him a few spots short of the money, while Danchev claimed the bounty.
