In the last hand before the dinner break, Peter Siemund open-shoved from the cutoff for 538,000 and Hannes Speiser reshoved from one seat over with . Siemund flipped over his and it was a big flip for his tournament life.
The board ran out and the smallest possible pocket pair indeed held up to award Siemund with an urgently needed double up, both players pretty much swapped their stacks.
The action started with a min-raise by Stoyan Stefanov to 60,000 and Fabian Schaack moved all in for around 500,000 from the small blind. Mick Heder gave it some thought and then jammed himself with the bigger stack, Stefanov folded.
Schaack:
Heder:
The flop fell and nothing really changed. On the turn, Heder glanced to the dealer and demanded for spades. It was the on the river instead that gave the Dane the better hand and he quickly turned to his neighbor and said "Sorry, I didn't think you were so strong. Wow, so sick."
That is probably little consolation for Schaack though, who is eliminated in 14th place for €6,280.
Hannes Speiser opened the action with a raise to 70,000, holding the on the feature table. Maria Lampropoulos flat-called with the and Dragoslav Timarac then jammed for 472,000. The action folded to Ivan Luca and he reshoved from the big blind to isolate successfully.
Timarac:
Luca:
The flop left Timarac drawing dead, as Speiser had the other two sevens. Neither the turn nor the river mattered anymore to see Timarac exit in 15th place.
Only a few minutes after the restart of the last two tables, Grzegorz Wyraz raised and then faced the all in of table neighbor David Urban. Wyraz eventually called for his last 16 big blinds and had a flip for his tournament life:
Wyraz:
Urban:
The board ran out and despite the two over cards and the gutshot, Wyraz found no help and departed in 16th place.
After the redraw, the tables are set again and it takes a bit of time to set up the chip counts of the feature table. Action will recommence in a few minutes.
Mick Heder had lost quite some chips and then got his stack of 484,000 in from the cutoff. Daniel Rose, coming fresh from folding pocket kings, looked him up from the small blind and the Dane was in desperate shape.
Heder:
Rose:
The board ran out and Heder made a runner runner flush to let Rose erupt in anger. "Why all the time, damn it. So sick," were just a few of the words he let out and a crowd gathered on the rail to see what happened. It was the last hand on table number three, as the redraw of the last two tables proceeded shortly after.
Down to just 236,000 chips, Oliver Heppchen shoved from under the gun and the action folded to Ivan Luca in the cutoff, who made the call. All other players folded and Heppchen found himself with the dominated ace.
Heppchen:
Luca:
The board ran out and that sent Heppchen to the rail in 18th place.
Daniel Rose raised to 75,000 from under the gun and Maria Lampropoulos as well as Robert Kokoska made the call. On the flop, the action checked around to Lampropoulos and she bet 100,000. Rose mucked his for everybody to see and was shown by Lampropoulos!
