Naalden Doubles through Lackovic

Naalden
Naalden
Mark Naalden moved in and Nik Lackovic was only too happy to take him on, seeing as he'd found {Q-Spades} {Q-Diamonds}. Naalden however had found {A-Spades} {A-Hearts}, and Lackovic was drawing dead by the turn of the {J-Spades} {7-Diamonds} {A-Clubs} {3-Hearts} {7-Spades} board.

Naalden doubles up to 90,000, while Lackovic is down to a mere 30,000.

Nicholas Van Der Marel Eliminated

Busted, but in the money
Busted, but in the money
Just a couple of hands into the money, and a far from short-stacked Nicholas van der Marel found himself all in against Mark Vos.

Van der Marel: {A-Clubs} {Q-Clubs}
Vos: a rather unimpressive {6-Spades} {8-Spades}

Flop: {5-Clubs} {9-Clubs} {J-Hearts}

Vos: "It's a good flop."

Turn: {6-Hearts}

Vos: "It's a bad turn."

River: a blank {7-Spades}

Vos: "This is fun."

Van der Marel is eliminated in 15th place winning €2,580, and Vos is once again a massive chip leader on around 570,000.

Daniel Perfeito Eliminated on the Bubble

Very, very unlucky
Very, very unlucky
Mark Vos raised. Daniel Perfeito reraised out of the small blind. Vos re-reraised. Perfeito announced he was all in, and they flipped their cards.

Vos: {A-Clubs} {Q-Clubs}
Perfeito: {K-Clubs} {K-Diamonds}

Concentrate, here comes the outdraw bit.

Board: {A-Spades} {J-Hearts} {6-Hearts} {J-Clubs} {5-Diamonds}

A far from Perfeito board and a quick, "Sorry, mate," from Vos, and we are in the money.

Hlobil Takes a Hit

Lindepuu
Lindepuu
Runnar Lindepuu raised to 8,000, and big blind Jan Hlobil was the sole caller. They saw a flop.

Flop: {3-Clubs} {A-Hearts} {4-Clubs}

Hlobil checked, Lindepuu bet 10,000 and Hlobil called. They saw a turn.

Turn: {8-Hearts}

Check, check.

River: {J-Spades}

Once again, Hlobil checked with a decisive tap of the table. Lindepuu bet 15,000 and after a pause Hlobil called -- but mucked when Lindepuu turned over {A-Diamonds} {5-Hearts}.
