Boukhalfa Eliminates Olszewski

Level 19 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Kamel Boukhalfa opened from the hijack and Tomasz Olszewski shoved for roughly 75,000 from the button. Boukhalfa made the call.

Tomasz Olszewski: {3-Hearts}{3-Clubs}
Kamel Boukhalfa: {6-Spades}{6-Diamonds}

The flop came {6-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{q-Clubs} and Olszewski was all but dead, needing to hit running threes to stay alive against Boukhalfa's set of sixes.

The {a-Spades} and {k-Hearts} completed the board and Boukhalfa collected the bounty.

Fischer Hits Set on River, Soars Over 1.5 Million

Level 19 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

There was already 150,000 in the middle on a {8-Spades}{2-Clubs}{a-Spades}{j-Spades}{k-Hearts} after plenty of action on the flop. Manuel Fischer, in the big blind, checked over to Julio Ribeiro, who also tapped the table.

On the {k-Hearts} river, Fischer put out a bet of 130,000, which put Ribeiro into the tank with 252,000 behind. Around three minutes later, Ribeiro made the call and Fischer turned over {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades}, hitting a set on the river. Ribeiro could only start into the sky in disbelief as he sent over half of his remaining stack to Fischer.

With his latest win, Fischer is now up to over 1,500,000. He has also been cleaning up in the bounty department, collecting eight bounties before the dinner break and turning them in for a combined €17,000 (seven €1,000 pulls, one €10,000).

Level 20 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Tamer Kamel: {k-Spades}{7-Spades}

Fernandes was heavily dominated going into the hand, but the miracle runout of {2-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} paired his sex to win him a full double up.
