The flop came {3-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}, missing both players. Zoufri bet 185,000 into 361,000 and Sperling folded.

Samuli Sipila Eliminated in 6th Place (€52,584)

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 3,000 ante
Samuli Sipila
Samuli Sipila

From the cutoff, Hakim Zoufri raised to 55,000 with {Q-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}. His neighbor, Samuli Sipila on the button, three-bet to 125,000 with {A-Clubs}{K-Spades}. Action folded back to Zoufri and he thought about what to do for just a bit before he grabbed a big tower of 25,000-chips and slid them forward. Sipila called all-in just about instantly.

The flop came {2-Clubs}{4-Spades}{J-Spades}, not doing much for anyone. The {9-Hearts} on the turn, though, gave Zoufri some new outs and the {K-Diamonds} on the river filled up his straight.

Samuli Sipila hit the rail in sixth place for €52,584. The remaining five players are guaranteed €68,514.

Michiel Brosky

Under the gun, Fabio Sperling raised {Q-Hearts}{J-Clubs} to 55,000. Michiel Brosky, right next to him, shoved {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds} for 440,000.

Ivan Arbatsky woke up in the small blind with {A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds} and called. The big blind and Sperling folded and it was time for the cards to go on their back.

With just 4% equity according to the livestream, winning was a long shot for Brosky.

The board ran out {9-Clubs}{3-Spades}{3-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} and Brosky was drawing dead after the turn.

Michiel Brosky received €41,447 for his seventh place. The remaining six players are guaranteed €52,584.
