"Unkn0wn123" and Aerts Eliminated

Level 19 : 17,500/35,000, 4,500 ante

Andras "probirs" Nemeth raised to 76,650 on the button and "Unkn0wn123" jammed for nearly 1.4 million from one seat over in the small blind. Nemeth activated a portion of his timebank and made the call.

"Unkn0wn123": {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}
Andras "probirs" Nemeth: {a-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}

Board: {k-Spades}{9-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

Not only did Nemeth spike a nine on the flop but he also hit a runner-runner flush for good measure to score another knockout and further build his lead.

Michael "imluckbox" Addamo then took a significant portion of the stack of Juan "Malaka$tyle" Pardo without showdown before Pieter "XMorphineX" Aerts" clashed with Joni "bustoville" Jouhkimainen.

Jouhkimainen defended his big blind against a min-raise and check-raised the {j-Spades}{4-Clubs}{3-Spades} flop to 150,150. Aerts pushed for 617,027 and was called by the Finn.

Pieter "XMorphineX" Aerts: {k-Diamonds}{q-Spades}
Joni "bustoville" Jouhkimainen: {j-Hearts}{9-Clubs}

Aerts was caught bluffing but had two overcards to avoid an elimination not far away from the money bubble. The {5-Hearts} turn came a blank, as did the {7-Spades}, to send Aerts to the rail.

Addamo Doubles Through "bustoville"

Level 19 : 17,500/35,000, 4,500 ante

Michael "imluckbox" Addamo opened the small blind to 120,000 right before the blinds went up and was called by "bustoville" in the big blind. Addamo bet the {q-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{2-Spades} flop small for 87,863 and followed that up with a second barrel for 145,852 on the {a-Clubs} turn, which his opponent from Finland called.

Addamo jammed the {k-Clubs} river for 955,452 and "bustoville" hero-called with {8-Clubs}{8-Spades} only to get shown {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts} for two pair by the Aussie.

Astedt Doubles Through "jknack10"

Level 18 : 15,000/30,000, 3,750 ante

Christian "WATnlos" Rudolph jammed the {8-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} turn in a battle small blind against Thomas "WushuTM" Muehloecker and forced a fold.

Soon after another big pot took place on the same table as Niklas "Lena900" defended the big blind in three-way action with Sam "SamSquid" Grafton and check-jammed a {9-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{3-Hearts} flop. "jknack10" had bet and called the shove with the {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}.

Astedt was at risk with {7-Hearts}{6-Hearts} for a gutshot straight flush draw and while the {4-Diamonds} turn bricked, he got there on the {k-Hearts} river.

Doubles for Jouhkimainen and "Black88"

Level 18 : 15,000/30,000, 3,750 ante

Joni "bustoville" Jouhkimainen raised to 64,500 and was called by Pieter "XMorphineX" Aerts in the cutoff. Rui "RuiNF" Ferreira jammed the button for 2 million in chips and had all remaining opponents in the hand covered.

Jouhkimainen called for more than a million and held up in showdown with {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds} against the {q-Clubs}{j-Spades} of Ferreira as the board came {a-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{2-Spades},

Russia's "Black88" min-raised from under the gun and picked up one caller in Wiktor "limitless" Malinowski on the button. Andras "probirs" Malinowski three-bet to 270,000 in the small blind and called the shove of "Black88" with the {a-Hearts}{10-Clubs}. "Black88" tabled {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} and the run good of Nemeth seemed all but sealed when he picked up the nut flush draw on the {q-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{4-Hearts} flop. But the {k-Spades} turn and {3-Diamonds} river were blanks to keep "Black88" in contention.

Nemeth Wins Huge Three-Way All-In

Level 18 : 15,000/30,000, 3,750 ante

It started rather innocent with an open-raise to 66,000 by "WRUUUUM" and Joris “BillLewinsky” Ruijs called from one seat over in the hijack. Wiktor "limitless" Malinowski" called on the button and chip leader Andras "probirs" Nemeth pulled the trigger. He applied maximum pressure and shipped it in from the small blind.

"WRUUUUM" called for 1.1 million, as did Ruijs for more than 1.3 million, while Malinowski folded.

"WRUUUUM": {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}
Joris “BillLewinsky” Ruijs: {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}
Andras "probirs" Nemeth: {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}

The {k-Spades}{9-Hearts}{8-Hearts} flop gave "WRUUUUM" and Nemeth a pair and the {j-Clubs} turn opened a straight draw for Nemeth, who instead made two pair on the {10-Clubs} river to score the massive pot and double knockout.

Nemeth Jams Into Mulder

Level 17 : 12,500/25,000, 3,250 ante

Teun "tinnoemulder" Mulde and Andras "probirs" Nemeth clashed in a 1.1 million chip pot that saw Nemeth pull back into the top spot.

Pauli "Fiilismies" Ayras opened to 25,000 and was called by Nemeth in the cutoff and "Black88" in the small blind. Mulder three-bet to 325,000 in the big blind and Nemeth was the only caller.

After the {a-Hearts}{3-Spades}{2-Hearts} flop, Mulder continued for 162,500 and picked up a call by Nemeth. They checked the {k-Hearts} turn and once Mulder checked the {9-Spades} river, Nemeth activated his time bank and jammed with the superior stack. Mulder sent his cards into the muck and Nemeth jumped above 3 million in chips.

Shakerchi Departs; Rudolph Doubles

Level 17 : 12,500/25,000, 3,250 ante
raidalot eliminated by bustoville
raidalot eliminated by bustoville

Talal "raidalot" Shakerchi jammed his shorter stack in with the {6-Clubs}{6-Spades} and "bustoville" reshoved with {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts} to get everyone else out of the way.

The board ran out {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{a-Hearts} and that spelled the end for Shakerchi.

Christian "WATnlos" Rudolph then defended his big blind against a min-raise by Sam "SamSquid" Grafton and check-called a bet of 75,000 on the {a-Spades}{7-Clubs}{6-Hearts} flop. Rudolph check-called another 200,000 on the {3-Diamonds} turn and check-called the shove on the {5-Clubs} river with {6-Clubs}{5-Spades} for a rivered two pair, which beat the {a-Clubs}{j-Hearts} for top pair of Grafton.

Break With 23 Remaining

Level 17 : 12,500/25,000, 3,250 ante

Michael "imluckbox" Addamo scored a full double with {k-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} against the {a-Spades}{q-Hearts} of Mathias "giftmyra" Joelsson as he made trips kings on the {k-Hearts}{7-Spades}{5-Spades}{k-Clubs}{2-Hearts} board.

Five other players were less fortunate and all bowed out in quick succession.

"EEE27" ran with {a-Clubs}{10-Clubs} into the {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds} of "WRUUUUM" and the miracle never came on a {6-Spades}{5-Spades}{2-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} board.

"LStrelec" fell with {q-Hearts}{j-Spades} as "Unkn0wn123" picked up the {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts} and the {9-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{7-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{2-Spades} board ran out safely for the aces.

"Unkn0wn123" also knocked out Artur "marathur1" Martirosyan in a flip when the latter three-bet jammed {a-Spades}{q-Spades} and was called by {7-Clubs}{7-Hearts}. The {a-Hearts}{7-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} secured consecutive knockouts for "Unkn0wn123" with a set.

Pascal "Pass_72" Lefrancois doubled Niklas "Lena900" Astedt and lost the remainder of his stack with {q-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} to the turned flush of Wiktor "limitless" Malinowski, who looked him up with {8-Hearts}{5-Hearts} and got there on the {q-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{4-Spades} board.

Alexandros "mexican222" Kolonias got it in with the {8-Spades}{8-Clubs} and Pieter "XMorphineX" Aertscalled with the {k-Hearts}{7-Hearts} to spike a king on the {k-Spades}{q-Clubs}{3-Spades}{a-Spades}{2-Diamonds} board.

And just like that, in a mere six minutes, the field was down to the last 23 and headed into a 5-minute break.
