Tom Vogelsang Eliminated in 17th Place (€33,850)

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Tom-Aksel Bedell raised to 60,000 in the small blind. Tom Vogelsang responded with a three-bet to 240,000 in the big blind, which Bedell reraised to 560,000.

Vogelsang did not deem that amount enough, as he moved all in for a massive 1,410,000. Bedell asked for a count, then called without using any of his many time banks, saying, "I like my hearts."

Tom Vogelsang: K♠K♣ All in
Tom-Aksel Bedell: K♥Q♥

Vogelsang was in great shape to win the gigantic pot, but the deck crushed his dreams when A♥J♥5♥ appeared on the flop, giving Bedell a flush.

Vogelsang needed runner-runner outs to remain in contention; instead, he was drawing dead after the 8♦ turn.

Vogelsang said his goodbyes as the meaningless A♦ river completed the board, seeing Bedell drag the massive pot to once again establish a big lead over the rest of the field.

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Juan Pardo and Ben Heath saw a flop of 6♠5♠Q♥ from the blinds with no further action on the flop.

The 7♣ hit the turn, and Pardo led out for 60,000, which Heath called.

After a pause and a time bank card, Pardo fired 250,000 on the 7♠ river. Heath double-checked his cards before calling. Pardo showed 10♣8♦ for a missed straight, while Heath revealed 4♣3♠ for the straight to scoop the pot.

Adrian Mateos opened to 50,000 in the cutoff. Giorgos Onisiforou put his last 315,000 at risk in the small blind, which Tom-Aksel Bedell cold-called in the big blind.

Mateos ended up letting go of his 7♥7♦, leaving the blinds to show down.

Giorgos Onisiforou: A♥10♠ All in
Tom-Aksel Bedell: K♦Q♥

Bedell paired his queen on the 4♠Q♣9♦ flop. Onisiforou needed an ace after the 4♦ turn, but the river came the 7♠ instead, ending the Main Event run of the Cypriot.

The 2♠ river also checked to showdown, where Vogelsang's A♥10♣ bested the 9♥8♥ of Bedell to take the pot.

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Jiaming Zhao opened to 50,000 from early position, and Aliaksei Boika called from the button.

Boika called bets of 50,000 and 125,000 on the flop and turn for the final board to read Q♠7♥3♣2♦Q♣,

Zhoa, with 250,000, slowed down with a check. Boika bet enough to cover him, but Zhao folded after some thought.

Maxime Chilaud opened the action to 50,000 under the gun. Tom Vogelsang defended his big blind and check-called another 50,000 from Chilaud on the 7♥9♣A♦ flop.

The 2♥ turn saw Chilaud size up to 100,000. Undeterred, Vogelsang tossed in more calling chips to see the 6♠ river. A third check followed from the Dutchman, after which Chilaud put his opponent all in for 340,000.

Vogelsang instantly called, tabling 10♦8♥ for the nut straight. Chilaud had been bluffing with J♠8♠, losing about half his stack by doubling Vogelsang.

It folded to Giorgos Onisiforou in the small blind, who committed his last 170,000. Tom-Aksel Bedell called in the big blind to put his neighbor at risk.

Giorgos Onisiforou: A♣J♥ All in
Tom-Aksel Bedell: Q♠9♣

The 7♣2♣3♠8♣7♠ board improved neither player, and Onisiforou's ace-high doubled him up.

Juan Pardo opened from under the gun to 50,000, and Joao Tomas in the cutoff three-bet to 150,000. Pardo then moved his stack in front of him for about 1,100,000, putting Tomas to the test for his tournament life. After some thought, Tomas made the call.

Joao Tomas: A♠K♣All in
Juan Pardo: 8♠8♣

It was a classic flip, with Pardo slightly ahead, but the board ran out 7♣A♣A♦9♣6♠, giving Tomas trip aces and a full double-up.

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Adrian Mateos limped in from the small blind with 10♣7♦, and Mykhailo Ostash checked his option in the big blind with K♣6♥. Mateos bet the minimum amount of 25,000 on the 7♣9♣7♠ flop, seeing Ostash call.

The 3♠ turn then checked through to the K♦ river, which Mateos also checked. Ostash flicked in a bet of 85,000, only to be raised by Mateos, who put in 375,000 with his trip sevens.

Ostash went into the tank, spending one of his precious time banks before he correctly folded his top pair.
