Ruzicka and Neys Eliminated

Level 11 : 1,200/2,400, 2,400 ante

Vojtech Ruzicka bowed out to Anatoly Filatov and fellow partypoker team pro Jan-Peter Jachtmann claimed the stack of Wim Neys.

Jachtmann four-bet shoved into the 16,900 three-bet of Neys and showed {K-Hearts}{Q-Spades}. Neys was well ahead with {A-Spades}{K-Clubs} but Jachtmann found a golden flop in {Q-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}, both the {8-Clubs} turn and {2-Spades} river were a mere formality and Neys' 107,000 were covered.

Joseph Oren also doubled after re-entering not long ago. The American was all in and at risk for 78,600 with {6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} and Jan Mach held the dominating {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}. However, the {K-Spades}{7-Clubs}{6-Spades}{4-Hearts}{7-Hearts} board gave Oren a set and the double up.

Backdoor Galore

Level 11 : 1,200/2,400, 2,400 ante
Pierre Neuville picks up a big double
Pierre Neuville picks up a big double

With the table currently playing six-handed, Andreas Eiler opened to 5,400 from the hijack, picking up Pierre Neuville from the small blind and Kenny Hallaert from the big blind.

The three players took an {8-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{3-Spades} flop, with action checking round to Eiler, who put in a continuation bet of 9,500. Both Neuville and Hallaert wanted to see another card, making the call and going to the {6-Clubs} turn. Neuville checked again, with Hallaert taking the lead, betting out 27,000. Eiler thought momentarily, before re-checking his hole cards and folding, while Neuville stuck around to see the river.

The board paired on the {6-Hearts} river, with Neuville checking a third time. After some consideration, Hallaert set Neuville all-in for his remaining 51,600. Neuville wasted no time making the call, turning over {6-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} for backdoor trips. Hallaert showed his {10-Spades}{7-Spades} for a missed combo draw, as Neuville picked up a big double.

Capoblanco Chips Up

Level 11 : 1,200/2,400, 2,400 ante

While Joseph Oren was sent back to starting stack, fellow re-entry hopefuls Pierre Neuville and Antonello Capoblanco chipped up.

On the three-way flop of {6-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{3-Hearts}, Capoblanco bet 15,000 and picked up calls by Julian Thomas and Maxi Lehmanski. The {8-Clubs} fell on the turn and action checked to Capoblanco, who bet 47,000. That proved to be too much for both Germans and they folded one after the other.

Karlic Joins the Rail

Level 11 : 1,200/2,400, 2,400 ante

A short-stacked Gerald Karlic eventually found himself all in and at risk with {A-}{8-} and Moritz Dietrich looked him up with the dominating {A-Hearts}{10-Hearts}. The board ran out jack-high and neither player hit anything, the kicker played and Karlic was done for now. However, he can still re-enter in the current or next level to take a shot at the juicy prize pool.

Manig Loeser defended his big blind to a raise by Philipp Gruissem and there was no betting action on the board {10-Hearts}{8-Spades}{5-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{7-Clubs}. Loeser showed {5-Hearts}{3-Hearts} and that was good enough to win the pot.

Karlic and Hegele Back In

Level 11 : 1,200/2,400, 2,400 ante

Moritz Dietrich is approaching half a million in chips while Abraham Passet's stack has gone to zero. Robin Hegele and Gerald Karlic re-entered and the latter received the very same seat on his former table.

Last but not least, Kenny Hallaert raised to 5,500 and The Talk called on the button. Anatoly Filatov three-bet to 53,200 with just 5,000 behind and Hallaert quickly folded. The Talk added some table talk and guessed he was up against either ace-king or pocket sevens, then folded and claimed that his own pocket pair was not good enough.
