Level 25 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Harry Lodge & Thomas Lentrodt
Harry Lodge & Thomas Lentrodt

After picking up two small pots earlier, Harry Lodge limped in from the small blind, Thomas Lentrodt raised to 115,000 and Lodge called. The {4-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} flop went check/check, Lodge bet 120,000 on the {9-Diamonds} turn and Lentrodt called.

The river was the {5-Clubs} and Lodge bet 260,000. Lentrodt took nearly two minutes before making up his mind, then flicked in a chip to call. Lodge showed {8-Spades}{6-Spades} for the nuts and Lentrodt mucked.

Lepore Takes Big Pot Off Heidorn

Level 25 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Robert Heidorn raised to 90,000 first to act and Gabriele Lepore defended his big blind to see a flop of {J-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}. Both players checked and Lepore bet the {K-Spades} turn for 105,000, which Heidorn called. After the {3-Spades} river, Lepore checked and Heidorn bet 500,000.

Lepore gave it some thought and called to see Heidorn turn over {Q-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} for a pair of tens. Lepore had that beat with {10-Clubs}{8-Clubs} and raked in a vital pot to swap positions with Heidorn in the counts.

In the last hand of the outer table, Michal Mrakes raised to 80,000 on the button and Lepore called from the big blind. The flop of {J-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{3-Hearts} was checked through and Lepore check-folded the {7-Hearts} turn to a bet of 140,000.

Mrakes Loses Another, Sow Grabs the Lead

Level 25 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Kalidou Sow
Kalidou Sow

Kalidou Sow raised to 90,000 and Michal Mrakes defended the big blind. The flop was {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{J-Hearts} and Mrakes check-called 90,000 from Sow. The Frenchman emptied the clip with a bet of 235,000 on the {7-Hearts} turn and 575,000 on the {5-Diamonds} river. Mrakes wasn't folding and paid off each bet.

Sow flipped over {Q-Spades}{10-Spades} for the flopped nut straight and Mrakes had to part with another million in chips. He's lost over three million in chips since the start of the day, while Sow is now the new chipleader with 12 players remaining.

Navot Golan Eliminated in 13th Place (€42,600)

Level 25 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Navot Golan
Navot Golan

Novat Golan shoved 650,000 from middle position and everyone folded to Jason Wheeler in the big blind. Wheeler looked at his cards, asked for a count and called a couple of seconds after getting the amount verified.

Novat Golan: {A-Spades}{10-Clubs}
Jason Wheeler: {J-Hearts}{J-Clubs}

The {4-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{7-Hearts} flop didn't help Golan. The {10-Diamonds} on the turn gave him two additional outs but the {Q-Hearts} on the river wasn't one of them. Golan finished in 13th place and cashed €42,600.

Wheeler Calls With the Wheel

Level 25 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Jason Wheeler raised to 90,000 from the cutoff and Colin Robinson defended his big blind. The {2-Clubs}{K-Spades}{3-Diamonds} flop saw an 80,000 bet from Wheeler and Robinson called again. The {5-Clubs} on the turn got checked around.

The river brought the {A-Hearts} and Robinson bet 230,000. Wheeler took around 20 seconds before splashing in a call. Robinson quickly showed {A-Spades}{4-Hearts} for the wheel, but much to his surprise Wheeler tabled {5-Spades}{4-Spades} to chop it up.

"Woooow! Just calls? You're just calling with this hand?" Matas Cimbolas asked and Wheeler simply nodded.
