Ramos Eliminates Gruissem

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Philipp Gruissem
Philipp Gruissem

Philipp Gruissem raised to 45,000 in the small blind. Felipe Ramos went all-in in the big blind and Gruissem called.

Philipp Gruissem: {K-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}
Felipe Ramos: {A-Spades}{8-Diamonds}

The {J-Spades}{4-Spades}{8-Hearts} flop proved no help to Gruissem but the {K-Diamonds} on the turn certainly did. Ramos needed an ace or eight to eliminate Gruissem and spiked the {A-Hearts} on the river. Gruissem, who won the €25,500 Single-Day High Roller earlier this week, finished 17th for €61,850.

Sylvain Loosli Eliminated in 16th Place (€61,850)

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Sylvain Loosli
Sylvain Loosli

The redraw of the last two tables was barely completed when Adrian Mateos raised to 35,000. Sylvain Loosli shoved for just over 200,000 out of the blinds and Mateos called.

Sylvain Loosli: {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}
Adrian Mateos: {A-Clubs}{10-Clubs}

The two over cards failed to show up on a board of {J-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{7-Clubs}, but Mateos found three clubs to go along with his two and make the nut flush. Loosli was eliminated in 16th place for €61,850, and all remaining 15 players are now guaranteed at least €68,720.

[Removed:17] Eliminated in 15th Place (€68,720)

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Short stack [Removed:17] moved all in for 143,000 and Dario Sammartino called from two seats over. John Juanda in the small blind folded, and Josip Simunic sweated his cards. "This is really bad," the Austrian said after seeing a three first. The second card was no good either and Simunic folded.

Dario Sammartino: {A-Spades}{k-Spades}
[Removed:17]: {K-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}

The board came {6-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{10-Spades}{2-Clubs} and Yan bricked his flush draw to join the rail in 15th place for €68,720. The next player to bust will receive the same amount before the next pay jump is then on 14th place.

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Hand 1

Dario Sammartino raised to 35,000 and Josip Simunic defended the big blind. On the {8-Spades}{7-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} flop, both players checked and Simunic then bet the {J-Clubs} turn for 52,000. Sammartino called and the {10-Diamonds} river was checked to the Italian, who moved all in. Simunic folded and dropped to the bottom of the counts.

Hand 2

Julian Thomas raised to 40,000 on the button and Felipe Ramos three-bet to 115,000 in the small blind. Thomas called and the flop came {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{7-Spades}. Ramos continued for 75,000 and Thomas folded.

Pots for Carrel and Muehloecker

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Charlie Carrel raised to 50,000 in the small blind and Dario Sammartino called in the big blind. On the {A-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{2-Hearts} flop, Carrel continued for 40,000 and Sammartino called before Carrel then checked and subsequently check-raised from 75,000 to 200,000. Sammartino let go and dropped to an average stack.

Over on table two, Thomas Muehloecker raised the cutoff and Julian Thomas called in the big blind. Thomas check-called a bet of 32,000 on the {Q-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{5-Hearts} flop before the {7-Diamonds} turn was checked. Thomas also checked the {A-Diamonds} river and Muehloecker bet 55,000. After using one time bank card, Thomas called and mucked to the {A-Spades}{4-Spades} of the Austrian.

Josip Simunic Eliminated in 14th Place (€68,720)

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Josip Simunic
Josip Simunic

Josip Simunic shoved nearly all of his 175,000 stack forward from under the gun. Murad Akhundov reshoved all in from the small blind and covered Simunic barely.

"Hit Mario, hit!" Simunic said, referring to the Super Mario figurine on his stack, before calling the rest off.

Josip Simunic: {5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}
Murad Akhundov: {A-Hearts}{J-Clubs}

"Ooh, hold Mario!," Simunic gasped upon seeing the showdown. Despite calling upon the plumber's powers, Simunic tumbled a long way down the green pipe on the {Q-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{3-Hearts} flop.

"Hit Mario!" Simunic begged, but Mario didn't come through on the {3-Diamonds} turn and {Q-Clubs} river. Simunic received €68,720 for his 14th place.
