Grafton Bests Nietrzebka

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Two players who didn't move as a quirk of the seating draw at the three table redraw were Daniel Nietrzebka and Sam Grafton.

Here Nietrzebka raised to 45,000 from middle position and Grafton three-bet to 155,000 from the hijack. NIetrzebka called.

On a flop of {6-Spades}{2-Spades}{5-Diamonds} Nietrzebka check-called a bet of 140,000 and the turn was the {9-Clubs}.

Again, Nietrzebka check-called, this time for 335,000.

The river was the {9-Diamonds} and Nietrzebka checked a third time. Grafton moved all in for 690,000 and after some consideration, Nietrzebka let his hadn go.

In the very next hand Grafton eliminated Ronen Mozeson when Grafton's {a-Spades}{q-Clubs} bested his opponent's {a-Clubs}{10-Clubs} on a board of {q-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}

Meanwhile, in the High Roller

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

The €2,200 High Roller, which started last night with 111 runners is now down to just 39. Only 15 of them will make the money though.

Two of the bigger names in the line-up - Team PokerStars Pro Chris Moneymaker and Romania's all-time money earner and only WSOP bracelet winner Alex Papazian - have both fallen by the wayside in this last level.

Iacob Eliminated by Taramas

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

On a {8-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{7-Hearts} flop, Iulian Iacob was all in holding {10-Hearts}{k-Hearts} against EPT Loutraki final tablist Ioannis Taramas who held {6-Hearts}{8-Hearts}.

The turn was the {7-Spades} and the river the {6-Clubs} meaning Taramas's hand held up. However, for reasons known only to him, he started making frustrated hand gestures as if he had lost the hand.

It was only when Iacob got up from the table and the dealer announced 'Seat open,' that he double-checked the board and his opponent's cards and realised the pot was getting pushed to him.

Peretz Eliminated by Eclapier

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

It was all-in preflop between Johann Eclapier who held {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds} but was behind to Yaniv Peretz's {j-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}

The flop came {5-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{9-Spades} with no help to Eclapier. But Eclapier yet out an exclamation of joy at the {a-Clubs} on the turn and repeated the noise on the {k-Spades} river as his opponent's elimination was secured.
