Lacerda Doubles Up, Still Short

Level 27 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Having shoved the previous hand from under the gun with 290.000 and got no callers, Jean Miguel Lacerda was in the big blind facing a button raise from Pete Linton to 160,000.

“All in.” said Lacerda and got a call.

Linton showed the {A-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds} but Lacerda had {A-Diamonds} {A-Clubs}

The cards fell {7-Hearts} {7-Spades} {9-Diamonds} {q-Clubs} {9-Hearts} and Lacerda survived.

Staggering to a Halt

Level 27 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Being just one spot from the 'official' final table, play has predictably slowed down with most pots now being won with a single raise preflop.

Jean Miguel Lacerda looks to be the shortest stack left but given the possibility of a deal on a final table due to the first place overlay, this could definitely take a while.

Bassam Elia Eliminated in 11th Place (€19,000)

Level 27 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante
Bassam Elia
Bassam Elia

Bassam Elia's tournament has come to an abrupt end at the hands of Nick Hicks.

Elia opened in the cutoff and then called off his remaining 700,000 chips when Hicks set him all in from the big blind. Elia, a rank amateur who usually plays homes games only, turned over {9-Spades}{9-Hearts} and was up against Hicks' {K-Clubs}{10-Clubs}.

Hicks took the lead on the {6-Clubs}{K-Spades}{2-Clubs} flop, a flop that left Elia drawing to one out. The {A-Hearts} was not one of them and neither was the {2-Spades}. Elia heads home with €19,000 in prize money and a great story to tell among his friends.

Level 27 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Pete Linton opened for 160,000 and Jean Miguel Lacerda was the only caller from the small blind.

The flop was {10-Diamonds} {5-Clubs} {j-Diamonds}

Lacerda checked and Linton bet 175,000 which was called by Lacerda.

The turn was the {8-Clubs} and both players checked.

The river was the {10-Hearts} and Lacerda led for 180,000.

“You bluffing?” Asked Linton? “No, no.” Replied Lacerda.

Linton called. Lacerda showed {A-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds} and Linton took the pot with {7-Spades} {7-Clubs}

The next hand Linton again opened for 160,000, Lacerda called from the button as did Jakub Michalak in the big blind.
The flop was {8-Diamonds} {A-Clubs} {5-Hearts}

Michalak checked, Linton bet 210,000. Lacerda folded but Michalak called.

The turn was {3-Clubs} Michalak checked and folded to a bet of 500,000.

The next hand Linton opened again for 160,000 but this time folded to a 3-bet from Jerome Brion.

Elia Continuing to Peel

Level 27 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

"I have a pair," said Elia before he opted to muck.

Florian Hoeller had a terrible Level 26 that resulted in his untimely demise.

Ferhad Seyadi opened to 140,000 in late position and Hoeller moved all in on the button for just 300,000. Jerome Brion called in the big blind. The two active players checked down the {10-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} board, Seyadi winning with ace-high.

Elia Survives

Level 26 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

Having been blinded down to just 260,000, the last of Bassam Elia's chips went in with {Q-Hearts}{10-Hearts} against Julian Gardner's {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}.

The board came {5-Hearts}{A-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{10-Spades} and Elia went ecstatic about doubling up to ten big blinds. The very next hand saw him peel from the small blind against Gardner and check-shove the {4-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} against a 125,000 bet from the Englishman.
