Oliver's Set Holds to Send Out Helmers

David Salituro

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Christoph Helmers moved all in for 150,000 from the small blind on a flop of 10♥4♣Q♠ and was up against Ryan Oliver on the button.

Christoph Helmers: Q♥J♥9♦8♠
Ryan Oliver: A♦7♠4♥4♦

"It's a race," Oliver said as he had a set of fours against Helmers' straight draw. The A♠ on the turn didn't improve Helmers.

"Blank," Oliver pleaded, and he saw the 6♦ fall on the river to send Helmers to the rail.

"Good game. It was nice playing with you. It's been a fun table all day," Oliver told Helmers.

Cruel Exit for Paus Against Kleemann

Christian Zetzsche

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Jean Michel Kleemann raised to 50,000 and Dominik Paus then potted to 180,000. What followed was the shove by the initial raiser and Paus called all-in.

Dominik Paus: A♦A♥J♥2♣
Jean Michel Kleemann: A♠A♣10♣7♠

Paus fell behind on the K♣10♠7♥ flop and needed a queen to survive.

It was all over on the 7♣ turn as Kleemann hit an unbeatable full house, which further improved to quads with the 7♦ river.

Buettner Fills Up to Crack Nylander's Aces

David Salituro

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Mats Nylander three-bet to 250,000 in the small blind and Adolf Buettner called in the cutoff.

The flop came 3♣J♠10♠ and Nylander bet 440,000. Buettner tossed in a chip to call and went to turn over his cards thinking Nylander was all in before being informed Nylander still had chips behind.

The 10♦ fell on the turn and Nylander pushed his last 200,000 forward. Buettner once again snap-called and turned over Q♦Q♣J♥10♣ for a full house, tens full of jacks.

Nylander had A♥A♠8♥4♥ and was already standing up from his seat before the dealer turned over the 3♦ river, sealing his elimination.

Ziegelbecker Doubles Novotny; Busts Piatek

Christian Zetzsche

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Oswin Ziegelbecker raised it up and then looked up the short-stacked all-in of Tomas Novotny for 160,000 in the big blind.

Tomas Novotny: A♠A♣J♣6♥
Oswin Ziegelbecker: K♠J♦10♦6♠

The aces found a clean runout on the Q♣Q♥3♠3♣8♥ and Novotny doubled once again.

Ziegelbecker then made up for the losses when he engaged in another preflop encounter against Sebastian Piatek.

Sebastian Piatek: K♠K♥9♥8♦
Oswin Ziegelbecker: A♣A♥Q♥8♣

The superior pocket pair remained ahead all the way on the J♠7♣2♦7♦Q♣ board to knock out Piatek in 30th place.

Nylander Sends Out Pidhrushnyi

David Salituro

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Vasyl Pidhrushnyi three-bet to 155,000 in the big blind, then called for his last 55,000 when Mats Nylander moved all in.

Vasyl Pidhrushnyi: A♥K♣J♥5♠
Mats Nylander: A♣K♥10♣4♦

The 7♠8♣Q♥7♣ board didn't help either player, but the 10♦ river gave Nylander two pair and sent Pidhrushyni crashing out of the tournament.

Eljach Knocked Out Eventually

Christian Zetzsche

Level 19 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Soon after surviving the previous all-in confrontation, Omar Eljach ran out of chips.

He could not make it past chip leader Joao Estanislau on a board of K♦7♠6♦4♥A♣ because the Portuguese had the Q♥9♣6♥6♠ for a flopped set of sixes.

Soon after, Emily Perrinjaquet and Benjamin Alacam departed and the field was reduced to the final four tables.

Carmi Goes Runner-Runner to Take Out Two

David Salituro

Level 19 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

August Schlegl was already all in for around 90,000 as Shenghe Yang and Eran Carmi went to a flop of 2♣3♣9♦. Carmi then moved all in and Yang called for his last 40,000.

August Schlegl: A♥6♥4♦2♠
Shenghe Yang: K♣Q♥10♥10♣
Eran Carmi: A♦J♦J♠5♠

The board ran out Q♦5♦. "Straight," Schlegl said, pointing at his card. He then noticed that Carmi had hit a running flush and slammed his fist on the table before joining Yang at the payout desk.

The Bubble Has Burst; Macias Romero Leaves Empty-Handed

Christian Zetzsche

Level 19 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

There was one further all-in and call on the money bubble as Enrico Macias Romero committed his last few chips in a battle of the blinds. He had just six blinds left and big stack Oswin Ziegelbecker looked him up after the K♥J♥7♦ flop.

Enrico Macias Romero: A♦A♥9♠5♠
Oswin Ziegelbecker: K♠Q♦9♥8♣

The 10♥ turn sealed the fate for Macias Romero, which made the 6♥ river a formality.

Yanovski Has Aces Cracked Short of the Money

David Salituro

Level 19 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Leonid Yanovski raised to 60,000 under the gun and Goran Urumovic tanked for several minutes before he called on the button.

Urumovic covered the board with his hands as the dealer turned over [108sKd]. Yanovski then grabbed the all-in triangle from the dealer's rack and put it in front of him. Urumovic quickly called.

Leonid Yanovski: A♦A♠6♣2♦
Goran Urumovic: A♣K♠10♣4♠

Urumovic had flopped two pair to take the lead over Yanovski's aces, and Yanovski found no help on the 4♦ turn or 9♠ river to hit the rail.

Inaki Gonzales: K♥J♣10♠10♦
Tomasz Kozub: A♦8♠6♦4♥
