Cooler Ousts Landron

Connor Richards

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Leo Worthington-Leese opened from middle position and Alexandre Landron defended out of the big blind.

The flop of 10♥9♥6♣ checked through and Landron check-called a bet from Worthington-Leese on the J♦ turn. Landron checked again on the J♥ river and Worthington-Leese bet. Landron check-jammed and Worthington-Leese called with a bigger stack.

Landron showed A♥Q♥ for an ace-high flush, but it was no good against the J♠9♠ of his opponent for a full house to send Landron to the rail in devastating fashion.

"This game is beautiful sometimes — for one of the players!" laughed Ori Hasson.

Ladev Spikes the River to Double, Goel Heads to the Exit

Adam Lamers

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Apoorva Goel raised it up from under the gun and Markkos Ladev ripped all for 265,000 from the big blind. Goel quickly called and the cards were on their backs.

Markkos Ladev: 8♥8♦
Apoorva Goel: K♠K♦

The flop fell A♠Q♥10♠ and Goel was looking good with his pocket kings. The 10♥ on the turn changed nothing but it was the 8♣ on the river that gave Ladev a full house to double up.

Goel was left with just 70,000 chips after the hand and bowed out of the tournament just two hands later against Artur Martirosian.

Milos Petakovic Eliminated in 24th Place (€26,250)

Connor Richards

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Vicente Delgado opened to 45,000 from the hijack and Milos Petakovic three-bet to 180,000 from the big blind. Delgado four-bet jammed with Petakovic covered and the Serbian called off with a stack of around 825,000.

Milos Petakovic: Q♥Q♠
Vicente Delgado: A♥K♦

A king in the window was bad news for Petakovic and the full runout of K♠8x7♦2♣J♣ marked his elimination in 24th place.

Adam Lamers

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Jason Wheeler raised to 45,000 in the hijack with Q♦10♥ and was called by Andrew Hulme on the button with 3♠3♦ and Mike Watson in the big blind with K♠8♥. The flop came J♦8♠5♦ and Wheeler continued with a bet of 75,000. Hulme got out of the way but Watson called with his middle pair.

The turn brought the 2♣ and Watson checked again. Wheeler put together a second barrel of 135,000 and Watson still called. The 6♦ completed the board and Watson checked for the third time. Wheeler announced all in and Watson was forced to let the best hand go.

Watson Wins a Classic Flip in a Non-Classic Way

Adam Lamers

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Mike Watson raised to 40,000 in the cutoff and Jose Astima shoved all in on the button. The blinds folded and Watson quickly called off his stack of 305,000.

Mike Watson: Q♠Q♦
Jose Astima: A♥K♠

The flop fell K♥5♣3♣ and Astima took the lead with a pair of kings. The A♦ on the turn improved him to two pair but the Q♥ hit the river to give Watson a set of queens and a double-up.

Joachim Haraldstad: A♦K♦
Leonard Maue: K♠Q♥

Haraldstad had the German dominated and the runout of 5♣3♦J♦A♠5♠ confirmed a double-up for him.
