Barbaros Leads Flop, Takes It Down
Level 36
: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Action has been slow at the final table, with lots of preflop raises that take it down.
In one hand that did go to postflop Panagiotis Mavritsakis opened from the cutoff and only received a call from big blind Eugeniu Barbaros.
The flop came down 
and Barbaros promptly led all-in for his final 12 big blinds.
Mavritsakis evidently did not hit anything good enough to call with, as he let this one go.

Carl Shaw Eliminated In 7th place (€56,500)
Level 36
: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Tom Waters raised from the hijack and Carl Shaw moved all in from the small blind for 5,775,000. Waters thought for a while before making the call and players flipped their cards, with Shaw the player at risk.
Carl Shaw: 
Tom Waters: 
Waters had Shaw dominated and the board came 
. The flop gave Waters a pair of jacks and the turn brought him trips. The ace on the river further improved Waters' hand to a full house and he took the pot, which was worth over six million chips.
Shaw was eliminated in 7th place for €56,500.

Black and Rice Get It in, Chop
Level 36
: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Declan Rice opened from under the gun and the action folded to Andy Black in the hijack. Black then three-bet all in for 8,325,000. The rest of the table folded and Rice took some time to think things over.
Ultimately, he made the call, putting Black at risk and creating a chip lead pot. It turned out the players were flipping, in a sense.
Andy Black:
Declan Rice: 
Both players had the same hand, but only one still had a chance of scooping the pot after the 
board came out.
Black was taunting his opponent as the river was revealed, but it came in the form of a black card: 
.
Groans were coming from the players and spectators alike, some in disappointment, some in relief. In the end, however, the players chopped the pot, and a new hand was dealt.

Mavritsakis Doubles Through Black
Level 37
: Blinds 200,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
After a very slow start to the level with few notable pots, the tail end of it finally saw some action.
Panagiotis Mavritsakis made a very big open to 2,900,000 from under the gun, effectively committing himself all-in with just two big blinds left behind.
The action folded around to Andy Black in the big blind, who three-bet the million extra required to put Mavritsakis all-in. Mavritsakis then made the call for his tournament life and their holdings were presented.
Panagiotis Mavritsakis:
Andy Black: 
Both players had an ace, but Mavritsakis had the dominating kicker. No suckout or chop occurred on the board of 
and Mavritsakis doubled, now playing nearly the same stack as Black.
