Hannes Jeschka Eliminated in 24th Place ($30,600)

Kai Cocklin

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Stoyan Madanzhiev raised from early position to 50,000 and Hannes Jeschka shoved from the cutoff for 325,000. When it got back to Madanzhiev, he called.

Hannes Jeschka: 9♥9♦ All in
Stoyan Madanzhiev: A♠K♣

Jeschka was at risk and needed to win a flip in order to stay alive. The Austrian player surely breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the 9♠ in the window, but seeing the 8♠5♠ that followed probably didn't help the nerves, as Madazhiev picked up a flush draw. A 4♥ on the was safe, but the 2♠ river gave Madanzhiev a flush, eliminating Jeschka.

Daniel Myers raised from the cutoff to 60,000 and Apoorva Goel shoved from the big bind for 270,000. Myers called.

Apoorva Goel: A♥7♥ All in
Daniel Myers: K♥Q♣

Goel was ahead, but not for long as the 4♥7♠Q♦ flop gave Myers top pair. No help arrived on the 8♣Q♥ runout, which mean Goel was eliminated.

Richard Hayes

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Action folded to Adrian Cazacu in the small blind, who raised to 80,000. Simon Lofberg was in the big blind, and he three-bet jammed for around 500,000, with Cazacu making the snap-call.

Simon Lofberg: A♣J♦ All in
Adrian Cazacu: A♥A♦

In a blind on blind cooler, Lofberg had walked into Cazacu's rockets, and his departure was confirmed by the 8♣7♦5♠3♦9♥ runout.

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Action folded to Manuel Fritz in the small blind, who raised to an amount covering Diogo Coelho's last 255,000 in the big blind. After some thought, Coelho got his chips in the middle.

Diogo Coelho: Q♠J♥ All in
Manuel Fritz: A♦2♥

Coelho needed some help from the board, but none arrived on the 8♣7♦5♠3♦9♥ runout, Fritz's ace-high good enough for the pot.

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Short-stack Maksim Shornikau jammed from early position for 265,000 and received a call from Adrian Cazacu, before Maximilian Lehmanski rejammed from the big blind for 325,000. Cazacu made the call to create a three-way all-in scenario.

Maksim Shornikau: 8♦8♣ All in
Maximilian Lehmanski: Q♥Q♦ All in
Adrian Cazacu: 7♠7♥

All players had pairs but Shornikau was in trouble, while Lehmanski was in great shape for the triple up.

Shornikau's exit was confirmed by the J♥J♠5♦6♠Q♣ runout, Lehmanski ending up with a full house.

Kai Cocklin

Level 25 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Aylar Lie shoved from under the gun for 245,000 and Steve O'Dwyer called from the next seat.

Aylar Lie: 8♠8♣ All in
Steve O'Dwyer: A♦Q♦

Lie had been in this same situation earlier and won the flip against O'Dwyer, and looked good on this occasion after the 7♦K♥6♣ flop kept her snowmen in the lead. A 5♠ on the turn added an open-ender for Lie, but a disastrous Q♥ on the river meant she was eliminated.

Level 25 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Andras Nemeth raised from the hijack to 80,000 and Niklas Astedt called on the button.

They went to a flop of 4♠6♣Q♣ where Nemeth check-called a bet of 75,000 from Astedt.

The turn brought a 9♠ and again Nemeth checked, then was faced with a bet of 175,00 from Astedt. Nemeth thought for a while, and even used some extra time, before he eventually called.

A 6♠ on the river paired the board and brought in the backdoor flush draw, and Nemeth checked for a third time. Astedt then bet enough to put Nemeth all-in, who had around 380,000 behind.

"I'm probably calling," said Nemeth as he tossed in some time-bank cards. After burning through two 30-second extensions, Nemeth called.

Astedt showed A♠A♣ for a pair of aces, and Nemeth showed Q♦J♥ for a pair of queens.

Level 25 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Steve O'Dwyer raised to 100,000 on the button and Lars Kamphues defended from the big blind.

After Kamphues checked the 9♣8♣Q♣ flop, O'Dwyer bet enough to put Kamphues all-in. Kamphues called for his last 215,000 and the cards were revealed.

Lars Kamphues : 5♣4♣ All in
Steve O'Dwyer : K♣6♠

Kamphues was ahead with his flopped flush, but O'Dwyer could hit a higher flush if another club were to fall.

The turn came the J♣ which meant Kamphues was drawing dead to O'Dwyer's king-high flush, as the 5♥ hit the river and Kamphues was out of the tournament.

Maximilian Lehmanski shoved from early position for 250,000, and Lev Margolin called out of the big blind.

Maximilian Lehmanski: A♠3♦ All in
Lev Margolin: K♥Q♣

Lehmanski was marginally ahead and did pair his three on the 4♠9♦3♣ flop, but fell behind as the Q♥ turn paired Margolin. No help arrived on the 4♦ river, and Lehmanski was sent to the rail.

Level 25 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Jelle Moene raised to 80,000 under the gun and Omar Del Pino three-bet to 200,000 from the hijack. Niklas Astedt four-bet from the button to 375,000 which prompted Moene to fold, but Del Pino five-bet jammed for roughly 900,000. Astedt snap-called.

Omar Del Pino: A♥Q♦ All in
Niklas Astedt : A♦K♥

Del Pino had run into Astedt's Big Slick and needed to find a queen. However, the board ran out 2♥7♦4♣9♠J♠, and Astedt had eliminated Del Pino.
