Level 31 : Blinds 75,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Sebastian Ionita raised to 300,000 on the button and Umberto Zaffagnini and Marc Foggin both called in the blinds.

Ionita continued for 250,000 on the J♠2♦2♥ flop, and only Zaffagnini called. Ionita then bet 900,000 on the 6♦ turn and Zaffagnini again called.

Zaffagnini checked for a third time on the 7♦ river, and this time Ionita checked back. Zaffagnini banged the felt in celebration as he showed A♣7♣ for two pair, while Ionita mucked Q♠9♠.

Youssef Zereg Eliminated in 9th Place (€132,800)

Level 30 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Thomas Eychenne raised to 280,000 from the button before Youssef Zereg three-bet jammed for 985,000 out of the small blind. When it got back to Eychenne, he quickly called to put Zereg at risk.

Youssef Zereg: A♠5♣ All in
Thomas Eychenne: 6♠6♣

Zereg needed to find the ace or he would be the first to be eliminated from the final table.

A flop of 6♦3♠7♦ came down to give Eychenne a set, although Zereg actually increased his amount of outs with a straight draw. However, Zereg was drawing dead on the 7♠ turn as Eychenne improved to a boat. A meaningless J♠ landed on the river, and Zereg headed to the rail to collect his ninth-place payout.

Level 30 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Marc Foggin picked up K♥K♦ in the hijack and raised to 260,000. Tomasz Brzezinski called in the big blind.

The flop came Q♥4♣2♦ and Foggin bet 200,000. Brzezinski folded 8♠5♠.

Anton Suarez then raised to 240,000 in the cutoff with A♥4♣ and Brzezinski called on the button with 9♥9♣.

Suarez hit a pair of aces on the A♦Q♥2♠ flop and bet 220,000, and Brzezinski sent his nines into the muck.

Level 30 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

From the hijack, Thomas Eychenne made it 240,000 with A♣7♦ before Sebastian Ionita three-bet the button to 720,000 holding Q♠Q♦. This was enough to get the blinds and Eychenne to fold, and Ionita pulled in the pot.

A few hands later, Anton Suarez min-raised 8♠8♥ to 240,000 from under the gun with Tomasz Brzezinski calling from the next seat with just the 10♣ showing, and Cesar Garcia defending his big blind holding 2♥2♦.

All three players checked the Q♥A♠5♣ flop to see the 5♦ hit the turn. Garcia and Suarez checked again, but Brzezinski bet 360,000. This got two folds from Brzezinski's opponents, and the pot went to him.

Level 30 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Umberto Zaffagnini raised to 240,000 in middle position before Julian Pineda Lozano picked up K♠K♣ in the hijack and three-bet to 720,000. Zaffagnini folded K♥Q♥.

Thomas Eychenne then raised on the button to 280,000, and Sebastian Ionita defended 6♦4♦.

The flop came 5♠2♦5♥ and Eychenne bet 220,000. Ionita then raised to 680,000 and Eychenne called.

The 6♠ fell on the turn and Ionita announced a bet of 820,000 with his two pair. He didn't even get a chance to put the chips in the middle before Eychenne sent K♥8♥ flying into the muck.
