Richard Hayes

Level 36 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Mats Ullereng jammed from the button and Grzegorz Kozieja got his remaining stack of around 2,700,000 into the middle.

Grzegorz Kozieja: A♥J♣ All in
Mats Ullereng: A♣3♥

Kozieja looked good for a double-up, but the 5♦4♦3♠ flop put Ullereng in front with a pair of threes.

Kozieja now required a jack for the pot, or a deuce for the chop, but the 8♣8♥ turn and river were bricks to bring an end to the heads-up battle and give Ullereng the trophy.

Ullereng let out a quiet “Yes!” In celebration as the river hit, and the players shook hands, saying “Good game”.

Level 35 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Mats Ullereng raised to 600,000 from the small blind and Jonas Hagstrom called in the big blind.

On the A♦K♦8♥ flop, Ullereng continued with a bet of 600,000, and Hagstrom stuck around.

The A♣ hit on the turn, and Ullereng fired again, with a downsized bet of 700,000. Hagstrom again called.

The 3♦ river completed the board. Ullereng took some time to think before moving all in with the covering stack, and after some thought, Hagstrom made the call.

Ullereng tabled A♠K♠ for the full house, while Hagstrom had 8♣7♣ for two pair aces and eights, bringing a battling performance to an end.

Ullereng enters heads-up play with Grzegorz Kozieja with a 3:1 chip advantage.

Humberto Lopes Galindo: A♠9♠ All in
Mats Ullereng: K♣J♣

The flop of 4♦10♦6♣ was safe for Galindo but the 3♣ turn provided Ullereng with flush outs. He hit the K♥ to eliminate Galindo.

Level 33 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

David Vinaya opened to 400,000 from the cutoff, and was faced with a three-bet to 1,300,000 from Grzegorz Kozieja in the small blind.

Action back to Vinaya, who promptly four-bet jammed for around 3,500,000, with Kozieja making a quick call.

David Vinaya: K♦J♣ All in
Grzegorz Kozieja: 8♠8♥

Vinaya needed to connect with the board, but he was almost drawing dead after the Q♣8♣3♦ flop gave Kozieja middle set.

The 3♥ turn confirmed Vinaya's fate, with the 5♠ river completing the board.

[Removed:548]: Q♦7♥ All in

Abdelhakim Zoufri: A♥K♦ All in
Mats Ullereng: J♠J♦

Level 30 : Blinds 50,000/1,000,000, 100,000 ante

Grzegorz Kozieja opened to 220,000 from middle position. Sebastian Malec moved all in from the cutoff for 200,000. Action folded around and the players showed down.

Sebastian Malec: A♠J♠ All in
Grzegorz Kozieja: 6♣6♦

Kozieja flopped a set on 4♦8♦6♠. Malec was drawing dead on the Q♥ turn and the A♦ improved his hand but not enough to stay in the tournament.

Erik Bakker: Q♠Q♦ All in
Abdelhakim Zoufri: A♠Q♣

Bakker got it in good but Zoufri made trips across the 10♠A♣J♣A♦4♥ runout to send Bakker to the rail.

Level 29 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Grzegorz Kozieja opened to 160,000 in the cutoff and was faced with a three-bet jam to 680,000 by Ori Miller from the button. Action back to Kozieja, who called after some deliberation.

Ori Miller: 6♣6♠ All in
Grzegorz Kozieja: K♣10♠

Miller was ahead in a flip, and the J♠7♣7♥ flop was clean, although raised counterfeit possibilities.

The Q♠ turn kept Miller in front, but he was counterfeited by the J♥ river, to bring his run to an end in cruel fashion.

Level 29 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Jari Mahonen moved all in for 400,000 from under the gun and got action from [Removed:548].

Jari Mahonen: A♠7♥ All in
[Removed:548]: A♦J♣

Mahonen was dominated, but the 8♣7♣5♦ flop put him in front with a pair of sevens.

The 10♣ turn was pretty much the worst card in the deck for the Finn, giving [Removed:549] a straight draw and a flush draw.

"Too many outs" said Mahonen, and sure enough the J♠ hit on the river to send [Removed:549] the pot with a pair of jacks, and bring us to the final table bubble.
