The remaining 10 players have been sent on a 15-minute break and the chip race of the blue T-1,000 denominations will now take place, as they are no longer needed for the remainder of the tournament. After the next elimination, the official final table is set.
Karl Stark has indeed lost one all in today against a short stack for seven big blinds. Apart from that it seems difficult to remember any beat for the Swede and he proceeded to knock out yet another opponent.
Stark opened to 75,000 from under the gun and Zsombor Gall then shoved the big blind for what looked like 350,000. Stark snap-called and the reason was kind of obvious:
Stark:
Gall:
The Hungarian actually flopped an open-ended straight draw on the flop, but both the turn and river bricked.
Over on the feature table, David Abbas shoved and then showed pocket fours when everyone behind him folded.
The secondary table provided some fireworks when Julien Sitbon defended his big blind against a raise by Joachim Kleiven. The latter fired a continuation bet on the flop before folding to the check-raise all in of Sitbon on the turn.
Jussi Heikela opened the action with a raise to 85,000 from the cutoff over on the feature table and Julien Bolimowski announced all in out of the big blind for 541,000 in total. Heikela made the call and Bolimowski was in desperate shape:
Heikela:
Bolimiwski:
The Frenchman was drawing dead after the turn and the meaningless river of no help anymore. Heikela has been running fairly good thus far on the final day and is the second biggest stack right now.
Pierre Antona had open-shoved for a few times already and this time he received a call. Joachim Kleiven was in the big blind and made the call after receiving a count for 355,000. The Norwegian immediately shook his head when he saw the of his opponent, as he held the slightly worse hand in .
The board ran out and both are now very close to each other in the overall counts.
It only took one further hand. Vyacheslav Igin shoved for 225,000 from early position and Karl Stark announced the call in the small blind. David Abbas tanked in the big blind but released his cards eventually.
Stark:
Igin:
"He cannot lose a hand," Julien Sitbon joked from the secondary table and the Frenchman would turn out to be correct for this hand. The board ran out and Igin also headed to the payout desk in order to collect €4,930 for his efforts.
The action folded to Vyacheslav Igin in the small blind and his shove went through uncalled. The Russian was at risk once and a couple of times without being called.
Soon after the other table short stack took a shot at the double or nothing and it was Niels Vesterlund at risk. Chip leader Karl Stark made the call out of the big blind.
Stark:
Vesterlund:
The board ran out and Vesterlund was sent to the rail in 14th place.
Loic Francois min-raised from the hijack and received two callers in Loic Francois from the cutoff and Pierre Antona on the button. The latter had shoved the previous hand from the small blind and folded to a bet of 90,000 by Ferroni on the flop.
Francois also let go and the pot went towards Ferroni, who flashed the before stacking the chips.
