Dragan Zaric Eliminated In 8th Place (€7,500)

Martin Lechner raised under the gun to 1,600,000 with Dragan Zaric moving all-in from the cutoff. Lechner put in the rest to call, tabling {k-Spades}{j-Diamonds}. Zaric was in good shape, but at risk with {a-Clubs}{8-Spades}.

Zaric improved to a pair on the {8-Hearts}{6-Spades}{9-Diamonds} flop, but fell behind when the dealer burned and turned the {j-Clubs}. The {q-Hearts} on the river was no help, and Zaric quickly left the tournament area to collect his payout from the cash desk.

D. A. Eliminated In 7th Place (€10,000)

Level 38 : 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante
D. A. is eliminated in 7th
D. A. is eliminated in 7th

The man known only as D. A. raised under the gun, picking up online qualifier Aristeidis Moschonas in the small blind as the pair went heads up to a {6-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} flop.

Moschonas check-called the flop, with D. A. moving all-in for his last 17,000,000 as the {9-Hearts} came down on the turn. Moschonas called instantly, tabling {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades} for a turned set. He had D. A.'s {j-Spades}{10-Spades} drawing dead, with the inconsequential {k-Diamonds} completing the board and sending D. A to the cash desk to collect his five-figure payout.

Burstein Bursts Into Second Place

Level 39 : 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante
Vladimir Burstein calls all three barrels
Vladimir Burstein calls all three barrels

After putting in 2,000,000 each pre-flop, Martin Lechner and Vladimir Burstein took a {7-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{8-Spades} flop heads-up. Burstein checked, with Lechner putting out a continuation bet of 2,700,000. After Burstein made the call, Lechner went for a second barrel on the {5-Spades}, this time asking for 4,400,000.

Burstein didn't take too long to make the call, and checked the action over a third time when the {a-Hearts} hit the river. After a short think, Lechner put down a stack of pink 500,000-value chips, declaring "all-in," and putting Burstein to a decision for his 27,000,000 remaining chips.

Unfortunately for Lechner, Burstein didn't take very long to call off his tournament life with a flopped set, tabling {7-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}. Lechner revealed his {k-Diamonds}{9-Spades} for a failed bluff, as the huge pot was sent Burstein's way, really levelling out the top of the playing field.

Ela Kubincova Eliminated In 6th Place (€13,500)

Level 39 : 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante
Ela Kubincova busts in 6th place
Ela Kubincova busts in 6th place

Rolando Lombardi opened from the hijack with a raise to 2,700,000, with Ela Kubincova moving her last 15,500,000 all-in from the cutoff. Aristeidis Moschonas woke up with a little something in the small blind, and re-shoved for 25,000,000. After ascertaining how much it would cost to call, Lombardi eventually decided on a fold.

Kubincova turned over {a-Hearts}{6-Hearts} and was in rough shape versus Moschonas' {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}, but only until the dealer spread an {a-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{4-Clubs} flop. Her celebrations were somewhat short-lived, though, as Moschona re-took the lead on the {j-Spades} turn, confirming the outcome of the hand. The {q-Hearts} river was dealt as a mere formality, as Kubincova headed to the cash desk to collect her €13,500 payout.

Done Deal

Level 39 : 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante
Our five remaining players ask for the numbers
Our five remaining players ask for the numbers

After the elimination of Ela Kubincova, the remaining five players decided to ask the tournament director if he could calculate the numbers for an ICM deal. The tournament director counted their stacks and went back to his desk to get the numbers for them.

When the tournament director came back, he gave them the numbers. 10% of the prize pool needed to be played for, which was an amount of €19.120.

Aristeidis Moschonas had 43,900,000 and would get €32,560.
Vladimir Burstein had 71,200,000 and would get €39,520.
E. A. had 35,500,000 and would get €29,920.
Rolando Lombardi had 35,300,000 and would get €29,860.
Martin Lechner had the biggest stack with 75,900,000 and would receive €40,530.

"I want €40,000 so one of you need to give me €500." Burstein said.

"No, no deal then." Lombardi said.

The rest agreed, they all wanted to deal according to the ICM numbers. In the end, Burstein agreed. Now all what was left to discuss was how to divide the remaining €19,120.

The first suggestion was to divide it over first and second place receiving €12,000 and €7,120 respectively. But after some back and forth, they all agreed to divide it as seen below:

1st place: €10,000
2nd place: €6,000
3rd place: €3,120

They all agreed and fist pumped. Some applause could be heard from the bystanders even though they couldn't hear the details of the deal. The players returned to their seats at the final table to continue play.

E. A. Eliminated in 5th Place (€29,920)

E. A. finishes in 5th place after running into Martin Lechner
E. A. finishes in 5th place after running into Martin Lechner

Martin Lechner opened with a raise from the cutoff to 2,300,000, before E. A. stuck in a 3-bet from the big blind to 8,500,000. Lechner agreed to call the extra and the two players took a flop.

E. A. put out a small continuation bet of 4,500,000 on the {9-Spades}{q-Spades}{6-Clubs} flop, with Lechner very quickly calling. The {7-Clubs} hit the turn, with E. A. slowing down to a check. Lechner locked eyes with E. A. for a moment, before pushing a full stack of pink 500,000-value chips over the line. It didn't take long for E. A. to make the call, as they headed to the {4-Spades} river.

E. A. thought for a moment before moving all-in and, no sooner had the words left his lips, than Lechner had made the call and whipped over his {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} for flopped second set. That was plenty good enough versus E. A.'s {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}, which meant Lechner would drag in the huge pot to build himself a nine-figure stack, as E. A. headed to the cash desk to collect his adjusted 5th place payout of €29,920.

Aristeidis Moschonas Eliminated In 4th Place (€32,560)

Aristeidis Moschonas finishes in 4th, and wins the Golden Chip promotion
Aristeidis Moschonas finishes in 4th, and wins the Golden Chip promotion

Aristeidos Moschonas got his last 44,500,000 all-in with {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} and took it to the races versus Rolando Lombardi's {j-Clubs}{j-Spades}.

The {5-Hearts}{k-Spades}{10-Clubs} flop added the two remaining jacks to Moschonas' list of outs, but the {4-Hearts} turn and {5-Spades} river were both bricks, and Lombardi scooped the pot to become our new chipleader.

Moschonas will pick up €32,560 as per the terms of the deal that was made five-handed, but will also score himself a $10,000 Caribbean Poker Party for making the final table as one of the first 100 online players to get through to Day 2.
