Donald Rae raised to 45,000 from early position with the {Q-Spades}{10-Spades} and Joep van den Bijgaart three-bet to 108,000 from one seat over, holding {A-Spades}{J-Spades}.

Rae called and they checked down the {3-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} flop and the {8-Diamonds} turn. Rae then bet the {4-Hearts} river for 152,000 and that enforced a fold from van den Bijgaart with the better hand.

No Flip for Avramidis

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Joep van den Bijgaart raised to 45,000 with the {A-Spades}{10-Hearts} and the action folded to Makarios Avramidis in the big blind. The Greek, one of the two shortest stacks, peeked at the {4-Clubs}{4-Hearts} and elected to fold and not take the coin flip.

Avramidis also forfeited his small blind the next hand against a raise by Donald Rae, the Brit had picked up {6-Spades}{6-Diamonds} in under the gun and won the blinds and antes.

Zisimopoulos vs Nevanlinna

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Georgios Zisimopoulos raised to 45,000 with the {10-Clubs}{9-Clubs} and Makarios Avramidis folded {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs} according to the live stream. Jussi Nevanlinna flat-called on the button with {A-Spades}{9-Spades} and the duo checked the flop {10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{2-Hearts}. On the {7-Clubs} turn, Nevanlinna bet 54,000 and was called before the {7-Hearts} river killed all further action.

Zisimopoulos took down the pot with two pair, tens and nines.

One hand later, Nevanlinna raised from the cutoff and Zisimopoulos called in the big blind. The Greek check-called a continuation bet on the flop {3-Hearts}{J-Spades}{9-Hearts} with {A-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} for ace-high, Nevanlinna was bluffing with {K-Spades}{7-Spades}. The {2-Hearts} turn got checked through and Zisimopoulos bet the {8-Clubs} river for 115,000 to win the pot uncontested.

Johnny Hansen Eliminated in 8th Place (€34,571)

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Johnny Hansen
Johnny Hansen

Jussi Nevanlinna raised to 45,000 from the cutoff and the action reached Johnny Hansen in two seats over, who moved all in for 294,000. All other opponents folded and Nevanlinna called.

Hansen: {A-Spades}{8-Diamonds}
Nevanlinna: {A-Hearts}{J-Spades}

The flop {3-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{2-Spades} was no good for the Dane but he had the back door nut flush draw. A {10-Hearts} turn left him drawing to three eights only and the {6-Spades} river then bricked to send Hansen to the rail in 8th place.
