Aleksandar Tomovic Eliminated in 15th Place (€6,600)

Level 28 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Aleksandar Tomovic
Aleksandar Tomovic

Aleksandar Tomovic shoved around 450,000 from the button and Pablo Redrado called from the big blind with a slightly covering stack.

Aleksandar Tomovic: A10 All in
Pablo Redrado: 22

Tomovic was in a flip, but didn't find any improvement on the 8Q4 flop, which kept the deuces of Redrado in the lead.

A 5 did bring Tomovic a flush draw, but it wasn't his day as the 8 river meant he was out in 15th.

Daniliuk Gets Paid With a Straight

Level 28 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Oleksii Shchukin raised the button and Andrei Daniliuk defended the big blind.

Daniliuk decided to lead out for 150,000 on the 357 flop, and Shchukin called.

The 4 on the turn checked through for the 4 to complete the board. Daniliuk bet 350,000 and Shchukin quickly called.

Daniliuk showed a seven-high straight with 76 to take down the pot, as Shchukin revealed 84 for trips, not seeing Daniliuk's straight at first.

Margolin Breaches Five Milion

Level 28 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Nikolay Fal raised to 160,000 from under the gun and Timur Margolin called in the hijack.

They went to a flop of J24, where both checked to the 8 turn. Fal fired out 200,000, and Margolin called.

When the A fell on the river, Fal checked it over to Margolin, who then put out a bet of 650,000. Fal went into the tank while he tried to figure out how to best proceed, and eventually settled on a fold.

Erkmen Turns Esau Dead

Level 28 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Paul Esau min-raised to 160,000 from the cutoff and Ufuk Erkmen jammed for approximately 1,100,000 out of the small blind. After getting the exact count of Erkmen's stack, Esau decided to call.

Ufuk Erkmen: AQ All in
Paul Esau: AJ

Erkmen was in the perfect position to earn a double with the superior ace.

The board ran out 626102 to have Esau drawing dead on the turn to Erkmen's flush, and Erkmen stacked up his newly acquired chips.

Milos Miskovic Eliminated in 16th Place (€5,800)

Level 28 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Milos Miskovic
Milos Miskovic

On the next shuffle, while the whole table was still discussing the huge fold Milos Miskovic made with pocket queens, Predrag Premovic came in for a raise to 160,000 from early position.

When it got to Miskovic in the hijack, he resumed his stoic poker face and peeked at his cards. Then, after counting his stack, jammed for 1,650,000.

Nikolay Fal moved in over the top for around 1,800,000 from the small blind, and once Premovic folded, the two players tabled their hands with Miskovic at risk.

Milos Miskovic: 99 All in
Nikolay Fal: AK

Miskovic found himself in a race for his tournament life with the pair versus Fal's big slick.

The dealer fanned out a favorable flop for Fal in the form of KK10, giving him trips.

A 2 fell on turn and Miskovic was one card away from hitting the rail.

The Q came on the river to complete the board, and Miskovic wished the players good luck as he ventured to the cashier's desk to collect his 16th-place payout.

Margolin and Kyte Chop as Miskovic Makes a Big Fold

Level 28 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Timur Margolin
Timur Margolin

Milos Miskovic just made a huge fold that he may live to regret.

The hand started with Timur Margolin opening to 160,000 in early position and Miskovic three-bet to 450,000 from the cutoff. Jon Kyte then shoved his monster stack of almost 6,000,000 in from the small blind.

Margolin had almost 4,000,000 to start the hand and after he thought it over, he called.

"What the f**k is happening?" said Miskovic to himself. Miskovic had around 1,900,000 behind and after thinking it over, he folded QQ face up.

Timur Margolin: AK All in
Jon Kyte: AK

Miskovic didn't like what he saw, and couldn't believe it when the 66Q flop would have improved him to a full house. Margolin and Kyte chopped up the pot after the 8A runout, much to their relief.

"You saved me, bro," joked Kyte to Margolin.

"Why can't you just fold ace-king one time, man. That's a fold," said Miskovic to Margolin.

"He's too rich to care about ICM," joked Kyte.

Tomovic Doubles Up

Level 28 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Andrei Daniliuk opened to 160,000 from the cutoff and Aleksandar Tomovic shoved the button for just over 400,000. Daniliuk called.

Aleksandar Tomovic: AK All in
Andrei Daniliuk: KJ

Tomovic had been pretty quiet during Day 4, but after his hand held on the 51010A9 runout, perhaps this is a shift in momentum,

Hammi Wins a Small Battle of the Blinds

Level 28 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Mohamed Ameur Hammi
Mohamed Ameur Hammi

Milos Miskovic limped from the small blind and Mohamed Ameur Hammi checked his option in the big blind.

Miskovic bet the minimum of 80,000 on the 4A3 flop and Hammi called.

The 5 hit the turn and Miskovic checked. Hammi bet 200,000, which Miskovic called.

Two checks came after the 7 river and Miskovic showed J4 for a pair of fours. Hammi had that beat with Q5 for a pair of fives, and he was given the pot.

Imeri Shows the Bluff

Level 28 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Ufuk Erkmen raised to 160,000 from middle position and Bljerim Imeri called in the big blind.

On the Q69 flop, Imeri check-called a bet of 80,000 from Erkmen to the 4 turn, where both checked.

When the 6 hit the river, Imeri threw out a bet of 505,000, which sent Erkmen into the tank for some time.

Around three minutes passed before Erkmen finally made the fold, and Imeri tabled a bluff with K7 just for good measure.
