"What do you have, like seven?" Jamil Wakil asked chip leader Enrico Coppola. "Wow, what a hand. Holy shit. You can go back to sleep, let us play poker," Wakil added, still stunned over Coppola's bustout of Andreas Goeller.

Coppola then raised to 105,000 on the button and Manuel Cortada three-bet to 525,000 in the small blind. Coppola quickly folded.

The next hand, Cortada opened to 100,000 on the button and Wakil moved all in. Kestutis Junevicius took a minute before folding, while Cortada also gave up his hand.

Level 26 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

On the first hand of the day, Khossein Kokhestani raised to 110,000 in the cutoff and Alexandros Kolonias used up two of his time banks before folding on the button. The rest of the table quickly folded and Kokhestani showed the A♦.

"That's the kicker, right?" Miguel Capriles joked with him.

"I have jack-jack. I fold jack-jack for you," Leon Zeaiter added.

Kolonias then shoved the next hand for 290,000 from the cutoff and Capriles folded 5♦2♣ in the big blind. "Tight fold," Capriles said.

A few hands later, Artem Shaganov raised to 100,000 under the gun and Zeaiter called in the big blind.

The flop came Q♣9♥A♦ and Shaganov bet 75,000. Zeaiter called and they both checked the 10♥ turn.

Zeaiter then led out for 170,000 on the J♥ river and Shaganov took a minute before calling. Zeaiter showed K♣J♣ for a straight and Shaganov mucked A♠8♦.

"You like me, my friend. Thank you," Zeaiter said to the dealer.

In what was a game-changing pot on the very first hand of Day 5, Diego De Martino open-raised to 110,000 from the cutoff, Enrico Coppola called on the button, and Andreas Goeller called in the big blind.

The flop came 7♣A♣A♠ and Goeller led out for 150,000, De Martino called, and Coppola raised it up to 550,000. Goeller then reraised to 1,100,000, De Martino folded and Coppola called in what was now a very valuable pot.

On the 2♦ turn, Goeller ripped in his stack for around 1,800,000 and Coppola used a couple of time bank cards before flicking in a chip to make the call.

Goeller had 10♦7♥ for two pair, sevens and aces. Coppola had A♦5♠ for trip aces, leaving Goeller drawing dead as the river came the 3♠.

Coppola had his opponent covered and raked in a pot that brought his stack up to 6,400,000, putting him well out in first place. Goeller was eliminated from the tournament in 18th place for €34,600.
