Ninh and Groom Tangle Again

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

Hiep Ninh and Stephen Groom were battling again, this time on a board of 6395, with 550,000 chips in the middle.

Groom made a bet of 350,000 from the big blind and Ninh called on the button after tanking for a bit. Both players then checked on the K river and Groom tabled 98 for a pair of nines.

"You hit every board!" Ninh exclaimed while he mucked his cards.

"It's only one pair," Groom defended himself.

"One pair is pretty good," Ninh concluded.

Quinlan Takes From Van Hiep

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

Aidan Quinlan and Hiep Ninh were heads up on a flop of 978. Quinlan checked out of the small blind and Hiep Ninh made a bet of 175,000 from the button. Quinlan made the call for the 2 to be turned.

Quinlan sized up to 425,000 and Ninh check-called once more. The 6 river was then checked by both players and Quinlan showed 87 for two pair.

Ninh took a few more looks at his cards, as well as the board, but ultimately decided he did not have a better hand and tossed them in the muck.

Richard Weeks Eliminated in 24th Place (€10,940)

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

Hiep Ninh, Stephen Groom, and Richard Weeks were three-way to a flop of 3910. Weeks checked out of the big blind and Ninh bet 250,000 from early position. Groom made the call before Weeks shipped all in for 950,000.

Ninh called the bet, but Groom had devious plans and jammed all in himself, for 3,680,000.

"I was trapping with the call but now I want to fold," Ninh claimed. Eventually, he let his hand go to create a showdown between the other two players.

Richard Weeks: A8 All in
Stephen Groom: 1010

Groom had top set but Weeks was still live with his flush draw. The 4 turn bricked out, however, and the 3 river gave Groom a full house to secure the elimination.

Stephen Groom: QJ All in
Konstantinos Vatseris: AQ

It was domination nation for Vatseris, but the 826 brought a flush draw for Groom. It came in on the 7 turn and he locked up the pot before the 10 river completed the board.

Tous Puts Pressure on Peters

Level 29 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Tobias Peters
Tobias Peters

Tobias Peters raised to 200,000 from the hijack and received a call from Alexander Davies on the button. David Tous defended his big blind and the flop was dealt 75A.

Peters continued for 225,000 and Davies folded while Tous check-called. The 9 turn was then checked by both players before Rosich pushed all in on the 7 river.

Peters would be at risk if he called with his stack of 1,715,000 chips, but he decided against it and laid his hand down instead.
