Stephen Chidwick raised to 80,000 in middle position. Christoph Vogelsang shoved 385,000 from the big blind, and Chidwick snap-called.

Christoph Vogelsang: {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts}
Stephen Chidwick: {A-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}

The {8-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{4-Spades} flop was safe for Vogelsang. However, the {9-Spades} on the turn flipped the script on him, and Vogelsang shook his head. The {8-Hearts} on the river completed the board and ending Vogelsang's run. The German finished in 7th place and collected €79,200 in winnings.

Stephen Chidwick raised to 60,000 under the gun. Short stack Mustapha Kanit shoved 210,000 from the big blind and Chidwick wasn't going anywhere.

Stephen Chidwick: {Q-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}
Mustapha Kanit: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}

The {J-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} flop brought some reverse domination for Kanit, who now needed to hit one of his aces to stay alive. Neither the {2-Clubs} turn nor {6-Clubs} river delivered, ending his run in 8th place.

Marcelo Bonanata Eliminated in 9th Place (€46,900)

Level 16 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

Gerard Pique raised to 65,000 from the hijack. Luc Greenwood shoved 564,000 from the cutoff. Marcelo Bonanata was on the button and asked for a count. After thinking for near a minute, he called all in for 497,000.

Pique folded directly when it was back on him, creating the following showdown.

Luc Greenwood: {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}
Marcelo Bonanata: {J-Hearts}{J-Spades}

It was a classic race, which would land in the Canadian's favor on an {A-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{Q-Hearts} board. Greenwood paired both his ace and king to send Bonanata to the rail. The Uruguayan was the first to go home with money, and he received €46,900.

Quiet Start

No big pots have been played in the first ten minutes. The only noteworthy fact was an open-shove from Luc Greenwood, which netted him the blinds and antes.
