Manuel Roca Eliminated in 14th Place (€25,850)

Richard Hayes

Level 34 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Gerald Karlic opened to 600,000 from early position, and short-stack Manuel Roca three-bet jammed for 2,125,000. Action folded back to Karlic, who made the quick call.

Manuel Roca: 6♦6♣ All in
Gerald Karlic: Q♣10♣

Roca was ahead in a race but the queen was in the window on the K♥Q♠3♠ flop, and the 10♦ turn improved Karlic to two pair. Roca couldn't find a two-outer on the river, and he wished the table well as he departed.

Level 35 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Alexantr Spatharis opened to 900,000 from the cutoff and was faced with a three-bet jam to 5,150,000 from Magnus Persson in the big blind, with Spatharis making the call with the slightly covering stack.

Alexantr Spatharis: K♦J♦ All in
Magnus Persson: A♥A♦

Persson had woken up with the goods, but the 8♦8♥2♦ flop spelt danger, Spatharis picking up a flush draw. The 5♥ turn was a brick but Spatharis binked the 7♦ river, hitting the table in celebration as he did so.

Persson was left cursing his misfortune, and was forced all-in from the small blind in the next hand. Konstantinos Nanos opened to 825,000, but folded to a three-bet to 2,250,000 from Jack Sinclair.

Magnus Persson: K♣Q♦ All in
Jack Sinclair: Q♥Q♠

Persson only had an overcard and exited after he ultimately missed the A♣10♣6♠3♠9♠ runout.

Level 35 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Jack Sinclair raised from the cutoff and action folded to Andris Rasins, who shoved for a bit under two million from the small blind. Sinclair quickly called to put Rasins at risk and a showdown was held.

Andris Rasins: 8♦8♠ All in
Jack Sinclair: A♣K♣

The 10♦J♠2♥ flop kept Rasins in the lead with his eights, but the Q♣ turn upgraded Sinclair to Broadway and left Rasins drawing dead.

An irrelevant 7♣ completed the board and Rasins was eliminated in 12th place.

Level 35 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Short-stack Martijn Kiers jammed from the button for 1,750,000, and was looked up by Konstantinos Nanos in the small blind.

Martijn Kiers: A♣5♥ All in
Konstantinos Nanos: K♦K♥

Kiers had run into a monster, and he was not spared by the Q♠6♥5♦J♣Q♣ runout,

Level 35 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Action folded to Konstantinos Nanos in the small blind, who jammed for 4,750,000. Much to his concern, he received a snap-call from Alexantr Spatharis in the big blind.

Konstantinos Nanos: A♣8♦ All in
Alexantr Spatharis: A♥K♦

Nanos had been unfortunate to run into a bigger ace behind him, and the king kicker played on the A♦4♣3♣3♥Q♠ runout.

Level 36 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Mikkel Nielsen shoved for approximately 5,000,000 first to act and action folded around to Martin Tsvetanov in the big blind, who asked for a count and tanked a while before putting in a call to put Nielsen at risk.

Mikkel Nielsen: A♥10♦ All in
Martin Tsvetanov: A♣J♥

Nielsen found himself out-kicked, and the 5♣2♥9♦3♦2♠ runout provided no help to eliminate him in ninth place.

Level 36 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Jack Sinclair raised to 5,000,000 on the button, leaving himself just two million behind, and Ricardo Caridade called from the big blind.

Caridade shoved on the 3♠9♠2♦ flop and Sinclair called all in to put himself at risk.

Jack Sinclair: A♣10♠ All in
Ricardo Caridade: 5♣5♦

Sinclair was drawing live with his overcards, but the 9♣5♠ runout left Caridade best with a full house and Sinclair was eliminated in eighth place.

Level 37 : Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

Alexantr Spatharis shoved for his last 8,200,000 from early position and it was folded to Martin Tsvetanov in the big blind, who stuck in a call to put Spatharis at risk.

Alexantr Spatharis: Q♣J♦ All in
Martin Tsvetanov: 8♦8♣

It was a race, and Tsvetanov had a real sweat after the 9♥10♦2♥ flop gave Spatharis an open-ended straight draw in addition to his two overs.

It wasn't meant to be, however, as the 4♦ turn and 4♣ river bricked out — leaving Tsvetanov's eights best and eliminating Spatharis in seventh place.

Level 37 : Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

Gerald Karlic opened to 1,200,000 from middle position, and was faced with a three-bet jam by short-stack Matthew Micallef of 4,950,000 from the small blind. Karlic didn't appear to like it, but after some thought made the call.

Matthew Micallef: J♥8♥ All in
Gerald Karlic: A♦7♥

Micallef needed some help from the board, and although the K♥6♣3♦ flop was sweat free for Karlic, the 9♥ turn brought Micallef a flush draw. However the 9♦ river was a brick, and ace-high was good enough to send Micallef to the rail.

Level 38 : Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante

Ryan Plant opened to 1,600,000 first to act and action folded around to Theodoros Ampelikiotis in the big blind, who committed his stack worth about 10 million into the middle. Plant called to put Ampelikiotis at risk and the board was run.

Theodoros Ampelikiotis: A♥K♥ All in
Ryan Plant: 7♦7♣

It was a familiar match-up, and the 3♦8♥5♠9♥9♠ runout kept Plant's sevens out in front to eliminate Ampelikiotis in fifth place.
