Boris Angelov Eliminated in 12th Place (€23,740)

Patrick Cole

Level 31 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Action folded around to Vladas Tamasauskas who opened to 300,000 on the button. Boris Angelov reraised to 1,200,000. Tamasauskas quickly moved all in and Angelov quickly called. The players briefly exposed their hands but was told to keep them face down as another hand was happening at the other table. Once that finished, the players tabled their holdings.

Boris Angelov: A♥J♦ All in
Vladas Tamasauskas: 10♣10♦

"Oh my god, tens!" Angelov said, pretending to be surprised at Tamasauskas's hand. Unfortunately for him, there was another on on the 7♠10♥4♣ flop. The 4♥ confirmed Angelov's exit from the tournament before the dealer flipped the 8♥ river.

Level 29 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Mathieu Di Meglio opened from the hijack to 205,000. Vladas Tamasauskas reraised from the cutoff to 520,000. Action folded back around to Di Meglio who made the call.

The 10♠9♣K♦ flop was checked around before Di Meglio led the 6♠ turn for 460,000. Tamasauskas made the call.

Di Meglio led all in on the 10♥ river, putting Tamasauskas at risk of elimination. Tamasauskas went deep into the tank. And by deep into the tank, ten minutes had elapsed before Boris Angelov called the clock.

With one second to go, Tamasauskas made the call. Di Meglio threw his cards across the table. The dealer turned them over and revealed 5♦7♦ for pure bluff.

Tamasauskas showed A♥K♣ for two pair.

Patrick Cole

Level 28 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

David Djian moved in from the cutoff for 935,000. Action was on Joachim Meisolle on the button who was deep in the tank. He shuffled his chips and moved them around for a minute before making the call.

David Djian: J♥J♦ All in
Joachim Meisolle: 10♠10♦

The 6♦A♦8♦ flop was good for Djian as his jack of diamonds gave him a superior flush draw. However the 10♥ turn gave Meisolle a set but Djian still had outs. The 4♠ confirmed his exit from the tournament and Meisolle chipped up.

Jamie Dwan moved all in for roughly 1,000,000 from early position, Jun Beum Chun re-shoved from middle position for a bit more and Taram Parmar, who covered Chun slightly, re-shoved from the cutoff, folding out all other players to leave both Dwan and Chun at risk.

Jamie Dwan: 7♣7♥ All in
Jun Beum Chun: 8♠8♥ All in
Taram Parmar: A♥K♣

Chun was in the lead with his pair of eights on the 5♦Q♥3♦ flop and remained ahead on the 2♠ turn but the K♠ river gave Parmar top pair to score the double knockout and drag in a colossal pot.
