Nikolaos Lampropoulos Eliminated in 4th Place (€208,000)

Nikolaos Lampropoulos
Nikolaos Lampropoulos

Pedro Cairat opened under the gun for 1.6 million and big blind Nikolaos Lampropoulos shoved all in for a little under 10 big blinds. Cairat called without hesitation.

Nikolaos Lampropoulos: {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}
Pedro Cairat: {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}

The flop ({A-Spades}{8-Spades}{J-Clubs}) and turn ({3-Hearts}) were still good for Lampropoulos but the {9-Spades} on the river wasn't.

Down to 3 players now, all guaranteed €258,000.

Lybaert then check called 900,000 on the {Q-Clubs} turn and 1.7 million on the {8-Spades} river.

Gicovanu showed {J-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} and the pot went to Lybaert who tabled {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}.

A Deal Has Been Made

The 3 remaining players have reached an agreement. Both Cairat and Lybaert give up €2,500 from the ICM numbers so Gicovanu gets an extra €5,000. There's still €30,000 and the trophy to play for.

Small Pots

Several small pots have been played, no huge confrontations just yet. Lybaert won a pot with a raise on the flop and picked up some more pre-flop pots.

Just now, a small pot between Pedro Cairat and Marius Gicovanu proved good for the former. Gicovanu limped in from the small blind and Cairat checked. Both players instantly checked the flop ({6-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}) and turn ({5-Clubs}) before Gicovanu bet 1.5 million on the {K-Diamonds} river. Cairat raised to 4.5 million and Gicovanu called. Cairat showed {4-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} and Gicovanu mucked.

Cairat's Lucky Day

Lybaert opened the button for 1.8 million and both Gicovanu in the small blind and Cairat in the big blind called.

The blinds checked to initial raiser Lybaert on {2-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} and he bet 2.5 million. Both blinds called before Gicovanu lead for 5 million on the {8-Hearts} turn. Cairat called, Lybaert folded.

The river {8-Clubs} saw both players check and Gicovanu tabled {Q-Spades}{10-Clubs}. Cairat showed {K-Spades}{2-Spades} and took down the sizable pot.

"It's my lucky day!" Cairat said with a smile.
