Jans Arends Eliminated in 14th Place (€16,212)

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Samuli Sipila opened for 27,000 and Jans Arends three-bet to 85,000. Sipila shoved all in and Arends called it off.

Samuli Sipila: {10-Hearts}{10-Spades}
Jans Arends: {A-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}

The flop came {3-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}, giving Arends a flush draw. The {5-Hearts} on the turn even gave him more outs, but the {J-Spades} on the river wasn't one of the cards he was looking for.

Arends finished in 14th place, good for €16,212. The remaining 13 players are guaranteed €19,173.

Jonathan Rozema Eliminated in 15th Place (€16,212)

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Jonathan Rozema
Jonathan Rozema

Jonathan Rozema opened under the gun for 28,000 and big blind Fabio Sperling called.

Sperling check-called a bet of 25,000 on {A-Hearts}{6-Spades}{9-Spades} before he checked again on the {3-Clubs} turn. Rozema fired 83,000 and Sperling moved all in. Rozema called for his tournament life with {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds} but was trailing the {A-Spades}{9-Hearts} of Sperling.

The {J-Diamonds} on the river was a blank and Sperling started stacking while Rozema was heading for the payout desk.

Michiel Brummelhuis
Michiel Brummelhuis

From early position, Artur Koren raised to 25,000. Michiel Brummelhuis (middle position), Abdelhakim Zoufri (small blind) and Garreth Fields (big blind) all called.

The flop came {10-Clubs}{9-Spades}{5-Clubs} and both blinds checked. Koren bet 80,000 and Brummelhuis raised to 175,000. Zoufri and Fields folded, Koren called.

With the {8-Spades} hitting the turn, Koren check-folded to Brummelhuis's shove.

Arne Coulier Eliminated in 16th Place (€16,212)

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

From the cutoff, Arne Coulier moved all-in for his last 409,000. His neighbor, Juha Helppi on the button, called and both blinds folded.

Arne Coulier: {A-Spades}{K-Spades}
Juha Helppi: {J-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}

The board ran out an uneventful {3-Spades}{8-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} and Coulier was forced to hit the rail.

Michiel Brosky Finds Lucky Double

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Action folded to Michiel Brosky on the button and he pushed for 213,000. Over in the small blind sat Charlie Carrel who had quite a bit more chips than the last time we checked. He asked for a count and eventually pushed all in over the top. Michiel Brummelhuis folded his big blind to let them to it.

Charlie Carrel: {A-Clubs}{9-Hearts}
Michiel Brosky: {A-Hearts}{7-Spades}

Brosky hit a seven on the flop to double up as the turn and river blanked.

Teto Haddad Eliminated

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Teto Haddad was down on his luck for quite some time, getting one bad card after another. He eventually found {Q-Spades}{J-Spades} and decided to make the move: all-in!

Unfortunately for him, Ben Heath woke up with {A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} and wasn't folding. While Haddad hit his kicker on the flop, Heath would eventually make a straight to send Haddad home.

Zoufri Eliminates Marius Gierse, Doubles Through Fields

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Down to just 89,000, Marius Gierse moved all in. Two positions over, in the cutoff, Abdelhakim Zoufri three-bet to 300,000. The button folded but Garreth Fields in the small blind asked how much Zoufri had behind. Zoufri counted 238,000 behind the line and Fields went back into the tank.

After several minutes, Koren asked for the clock. Before the floor could even come over, Fields flat called. The button threw his cards away immediately.

The flop came {2-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{5-Clubs} and Fields instantly announced all in. Zoufri called just as fast.

Abdelhakim Zoufri: {9-Hearts}{9-Spades}
Garreth Fields: {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades}
Marius Gierse: {K-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}

The {7-Spades} on the turn and {8-Clubs} on the river were blanks and Gierse made his exit.

"Why didn't you just go all-in pre-flop?" Zoufri asked Fields while stacking the chips he just won, "You were gonna give me a heart attack!"

David Boyaciyan Eliminated

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
David Boyaciyan
David Boyaciyan

Again a deep run, but no third final table for David Boyaciyan, no second title for the Dutchman in the most prestigious poker tournament in his country.

Boyaciyan moved all-in with pocket aces and Artur Koren called with ace-queen with the queen of clubs. The board showed four clubs and just like that, Boyaciyan made his exit in 19th place.
