Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Jean Peyratoux moved all in for around 50,000 from the cutoff and Javier Caballo put him at risk from middle position.

Jean Peyratoux: A♠8♣ All in
Javier Caballo: 6♠6♦

Peyratoux took the lead on the A♣8♦Q♥ flop with two pair, but the 6♣ fell on the turn to give Caballo a set. Peyratoux needed to fill up on the river to stay alive, but he missed the K♣ and was sent to the rail.

Angelov moved all in for 125,000 from early position and Velasevic burned through several time banks before eventually calling. Angelov then showed A♣A♠ for a set of aces and Velasevic mucked.

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Rutger Hennen opened to 11,000 under the gun, and action folded to €100,000 Super High Roller 3rd place finisher Juan Pardo, who glanced at the clock before moving his short-stack of 45,000 into the middle.

Action folded back to Hennen, who made the quick call.

Juan Pardo: Q♠Q♣ All in
Rutger Hennen: 4♥4♠

Pardo looked in great shape for a double-up, but was up out of his chair after the A♦3♣4♣ flop, and no unlikely escape was provided by the 9♠ turn and 10♦ river. Pardo wished the table good luck as he departed.
