Eckert Triples Up

Level 23 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Roberto Morra raised to 80,000 under the gun with {Q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}. Julien Stripoli three-bet to 240,000 one seat over. Jan Eckert four-bet shoved 255,000 from the small blind with {A-Hearts}{Q-Spades}. Morra called, not allowing Stripoli to reopen the action and the Frenchman splashed the extra chips in as well.

The {Q-Clubs} hit in the window to give Eckert the lead, and was accompanied by the {4-Diamonds} and {3-Clubs}. After two checks, the {6-Clubs} fell on the turn. Morra bet 350,000 to get Stripoli out of the way.

The river was the {J-Hearts} and Eckert tripled up.

Level 23 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Roberto Morra
Roberto Morra

Roberto Morra open-shoved for 810,000, a little over 20 big blinds, from under the gun. Action folded to Jan Eckert in the big blind, who called after 90 seconds of thought.

Roberto Morra: {K-Spades}{Q-Spades}
Jan Eckert: {K-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}

Eckert was in bad shape and lost the majority of his stack on a {2-Spades}{10-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} board.

Kristof Segers Eliminated in 6th Place (€11,140)

Level 23 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Kristof Segers
Kristof Segers

On the button, Kristof Segers shoved all in for 595,000 and Julien Stropoli called in the big blind.

Kristof Segers: {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}
Julien Stropoli: {K-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}

The {5-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{9-Spades} flop kept Segers in the lead, and the {2-Hearts} on the turn was safe for him as well. Standing up, Segers awaited his faith as the river was dealt.

The river was the {Q-Hearts} and Segers covered his face, turned away from the table and took a few steps. He then walked back to the table and shook his tablemates' hands as he exited in 6th place.

[Removed:155] Eliminated in 7th Place (€8,870)

Level 23 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Henri Piironen raised on the button to 85,000, [Removed:155] three-bet shoved 745,000 from the small blind and Piironen called directly.

[Removed:155]: {5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}
Henri Piironen: {q-Clubs}{q-Hearts}

After getting aces cracked earlier as well as losing ace-king against ace-queen, the start-of-the-day chipleader was now the one that needed to come from behind. There was no lifeline for Brand after the board ran out {8-Spades}{6-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{3-Spades} and a disappointing final table for him ended in 7th place.

Ilkka Heikkila Eliminated in 8th Place (€7,100)

Level 23 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Ilkka Heikkila
Ilkka Heikkila

Ilkka Heikkila shoved all in for 360,000 from under the gun, Julien Stropoli also went all in from middle position and the other players folded.

Ilkka Heikkila: {Q-Spades}{8-Spades}
Julien Stropoli: {A-Spades}{K-Hearts}

The {10-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{4-Spades} flop didn't provide any help for Heikkila and the {A-Clubs} on the turn sealed his fate, making the {6-Clubs} river inconsequential. The Finn bowed out in 8th place and received €7,100 for his deep run.
