Paulius Plausinaitis Eliminated in 2nd Place (€108,000)

David Salituro

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

Teun Mulder limped the button and Paulius Plausinaitis checked his option.

Both players checked the 9♠8♥5♠ flop before Plausinaitis led out for 60,000 on the 3♥ turn. Mulder then moved all in and Plausinaitis quickly called for 320,000.

Plausinaitis showed 10♠9♦ for top pair, but Mulder had 5♥3♦ for two pair. The river was the A♥ and Plausinaitis couldn't catch up, forcing him to settle for a runner-up finish as Mulder clinched the title.

After the hand, Plausinaitis asked Mulder what he had in the three-handed pot where he shoved the river. Mulder admitted he had king-ten for the straight and Plausinaitis said he folded a set of queens.

Toma Runs Out of Lives and Bubbles

Calum Grant

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

Paulius Plausinaitis put Tsugunari Toma all in from the small blind and the latter committed his stack of 88,000.

Tsugunari Toma: A♦3♦
Paulius Plausinaitis: J♦2♦

Toma was in great shape to double again and had his opponent's diamonds covered. Plausinaitis had a gutshot straight draw to go with his pair-outs after the K♦Q♠9♠ flop. The 7♠ turn kept Toma ahead, but the air was knocked out of him after his opponent paired up on the 2♠ river to burst the money bubble.

O'Dwyer Doubles Again; Mokri Departs

Calum Grant

Level 15 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Steve O'Dwyer was all in for 52,000 from the hijack and at risk to Kayhan Mokri from the big blind.

O'Dwyer had K♣Q♥ and was up against Ax6x. The 10♦8♥6♠ flop looked like there would be a bust out until the K♥ turn gave O'Dwyer the lead, which he kept after the J♠ river.

The hand after, Teun Mulder opened to 24,000 from the button and called when Mokri moved all in for 78,000.

Kayhan Mokri: Q♦10♦
Teun Mulder: J♦9♣

Both players smacked the Q♣10♣8♥ flop but Mokri's two pair was behind Mulder's straight. The 5♥ turn and K♦ river then confirmed the Norwegian's exit.

Calum Grant

Level 9 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Tamas Adamszki opened to 6,000 from early position and Kayhan Mokri defended his big blind.

Mokri check-called bets of 6,000 and 18,000 on the flop and turn for the final board to read A♣8♠3♥Q♦4♦. Mokri checked once more and Adamszki jammed for around 45,000. Mokri snap-called.

Adamszki could only show air as he tabled his Jx10x while Mokri had the goods with his slow-played A♦A♥.

"Tricky trickster," whispered Astedt to Mokri.

After the hand played out, Steve O'Dwyer joined the table.
