Action was hand for hand with 201 players remaining and 199 paid. There were four all-ins across the room and only one resulted in a double up. The other three were bustouts. Here's how the action went down on the bubble.
Hand 1:
Javey Timmer raised to 10,000 from under the gun and Ryhor Karapanau moved nearly all in from the button, leaving just 1,000 chips behind. Vasyl Pidhrusnyi reraised to 85,000 from the big blind, leaving just 20,000 behind. The original raiser, Timmer, then pushed all in over the top. Karapanau called and Pidhrusnyi stalled for a long time before making the call.
Three players flipped their cards. Karapanau had the shortest stack and Pidhrusnyi was also at risk to Timmer.
The board ran out 7♠8♥4♦3♦7♦. Pidhrusnyi held with his pocket kings to win the pot and triple up. Timmer lost a chunk of chips and Karapanau was eliminated on the bubble.
Hand 2:
After a preflop raising war, Neel Murthy, on the button, found himself all in and at risk for his remaining 332,000 against Lukas Rose, who was under the gun.
Neel Murthy: K♣K♠
Lukas Rose: A♦K♥
The board ran out A♣9♦4♠7♠5♠. Murthy's pocket kings were cracked, propelling Rose over the 800,000 chip mark. Murthy was the second player to bust on the bubble.
Hand 3:
Action was on the river on a board of 10♠2♠J♣J♠3♦. Sylwester Fortuna was all in against Wladimir Stepanian, who had him covered. When the time came, players flipped over their cards.
Fortuna showed Q♣10♣ for a pair of tens. Stepanian showed Q♥J♥ for trip jacks to win the pot. Fortuna was the third and final player to bust on the bubble.
All three bubble bustouts, Karapanau, Murthy, and Fortuna, will split the 199th place prize money, each taking €997.
With the bubble in the rearview, play has returned to normal pace.
Steve O'Dwyer raised from middle position and was called by Vitalijs Korhs, Micha Hoedemaker, the player in the small blind and Hassan Fares, who threw his last chips in the middle to make the call.
The flop came 6♠8♣2♠. Action checked to Vitalijs Korhs, who bet 17,000. The small blind called and so did O'Dwyer.
The turn was the A♣. Play checked to Korhs again, who bet out 60,000. Only O'Dwyer made the call. The river came the K♠ and both players checked.
Fares showed 7♥5♥ and Korhs showed 8♠8♥ for a set of eights. O'Dwyer mucked his hand. Korhs scooped the pot and claimed Fares' bounty.
Kenny Hallaert was all in from middle position for around 50,000. Casimir Seire came over the top with a shove for 91,000 and Ruoqin Cai moved all in from the button for 363,000. The rest of the table folded and players flipped their cards for a three-way all in.
The board ran out 5♦Q♥9♥6♥3♥. Cai hit a set of queens on the flop and left the other players drawing very thin. He held up to win the pot and two bounty tokens. Both Hallaert and Seire were eliminated from the tournament.
Gerald Mcinally shoved all in for 44,000 from middle position. Kent Roed then shoved over the top from the button for 154,000. The rest of the table folded and two players flipped over their cards.
Gerald Mcinally: K♣4♣
Kent Roed: A♠8♠
The board ran out 9♣J♥8♥2♠Q♠. Roed paired his eights on the flop and held to win the pot. Mcinally was eliminated from the tournament.
As recounted by the table, Dan Heimiller busted Steve O'Dwyer in what was the largest pot of the day. O'Dwyer was sent to the rail while Heimiller has now launched past the 1,000,000 chip mark and claimed the title of chip leader as 106 players currently remain.
