Level 26 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Pawel Wojciechowski
Pawel Wojciechowski

Siegfried Kapeller raised to 10,000 from the cutoff before Pawel Wojciechowski three-bet to 220,000 from the button. Umberto Ruggeri four-bet to 400,000 out of the small blind, which forced a fold from Kapeller, but a shove by Wojciechowski for 635,000. Ruggeri called and the cards were on their backs.

Pawel Wojciechowski: KK All in
Umberto Ruggeri: AJ

Wojciechowski was in a perfect position to double up with pocket kings if he could fade an unfortunate runout. The board came Q2Q210 and Wojciechowski doubled through Ruggeri.

Carmelo Donato Eliminated in 19th Place (€39,950)

Level 26 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Carmelo Donato
Carmelo Donato

Carmelo Donato made it 100,000 to go from middle position and Siarhei Alontsau defended from the big blind.

They saw a flop of Q87 where Alontsau checked, and Donato bet 110,000. Alontsau called.

A 7 paired the board on the turn and after Alontsau checked, Donato fired 225,000. Alontsau instantly moved all in, and Donato was put to the test for his remaining stack of 425,000. After thinking for some time, Donato called.

Carmelo Donato: KQ All in
Siarhei Alontsau: 107

The disappointment in Donato's body language was obvious, but there was still one card to come. Only a queen would save Donato, but it turned out not to be third time lucky as the 3 completed the board, which meant he was out in 19th.

Survival Specialist Donato Dodges Big Slick

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

Pedro Marques raised to 80,000 from under the gun and Carmelo Donato shoved for 380,000 from the cutoff. When it got back to Marques, he quickly called.

Carmelo Donato: A10 All in
Pedro Marques: AK

Donato was all in, at risk, and behind again for the second time this level. However, this occasion was noticeably worse for the German player as he was dominated by the Big Slick of Marques. However, Donato seems to be an survival expert as he spiked a ten on the 10A2J6 runout to keep himself in contention.

The 7 river completed the board, and Studniarz led out with a 1,000,000 bet. After a brief moment of consideration, Bergstrom shoved all in for about 1,400,000. Studniarz called.

Bergstrom showed J9 for a straight, while Studniarz revealed J10 for trip tens, sending the pot to Bergstrom.

Vrakas Takes Some From Sokolovsky

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

Alexander Sokolovsky opened to 80,000 from middle position, and Georgios Vrakas called from the big blind.

On the 737 flop, Vrakas check-called a 50,000 bet from Sokolovsky. The 2 appeared on the turn, and Vrakas took the lead with a bet of 80,000. Sokolovsky took some time before making the call.

The 8 completed the board, and Vrakas fired another bet of 130,000. Sokolovsky called but mucked his hand when Vrakas revealed K8 for a rivered pair.

Fabian Bartuschk Eliminated in 20th Place (€39,950)

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

Umberto Ruggeri opened to 80,000 from under the gun and Fabian Bartuschk three-bet to 295,000 in the hijack, leaving himself around 85,000 behind. Siegfried Kapeller was in the small blind and shoved for 1,330,000, and Pawel Wojciechowski in the big blind also moved all in for around 1,700,000. Ruggeri quickly folded, and Bartuschk was left with a decision.

"I could be dead here. It would be great if you both had jacks and queens," he said, before he finally called off his stack.

Fabian Bartuschk: A10 All in
Siegfried Kapeller: QQ All in
Pawel Wojciechowski: AK

Wojciechowski had the chance to eliminate two opponents in the same hand if his Big Slick could find a way to win. Bartuschk would need to beat both players to win the main pot, and gave himself a chance after the 4105 flop paired his ten. Kapeller's queens remaining in the lead through the 8 turn, which left Bartuschk & Wojciechowski with one more chance to improve.

The J didn't bring any more drama to the hand, and Kapeller's queens held up, which meant Bartuschk was out in 20th, and Wojciechowski's stack tumbled to around 400,000.
