Fewer Than 60 Players Remain

Level 14 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Tal Sardal
Tal Sardal

Alexis Longhe was knocked out soon after his previous split pot and the double elimination on the feature table reduced the field to the last 60 contenders.

Over on the outer tables, another all-in showdown followed when a raising war on the {7-Spades}{5-Clubs}{4-Spades} flop led to the all-in by Louis Le Boisselier for 153,000. He was covered by Tal Sardal albeit by just a few big blinds and the cards were flipped over.

Louis Le Boisselier: {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}
Tal Sardal: {9-Spades}{5-Spades}

Sardal was trailing with his middle pair and flush draw. He didn't pick up any help yet on the {2-Diamonds} turn but got there with the {a-Spades} river. The stacks were counted and Le Boisselier then told the bad news to friends in the field shortly thereafter.

Fabian on Fumes on the Feature Table

Level 14 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Over on the feature table, the action has caught up to a duel between Eszter Fabian and Pierre de Almeida. The former defended the big blind with the {q-Hearts}{j-Hearts} while de Almeida had the {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}. Both checked the {q-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{6-Hearts} flop and Fabian led the {6-Spades} turn for 10,000, which de Almeida called.

On the {2-Diamonds} river, Fabian bet 15,000 and de Almeida now raised it up to 45,000. The sigh-call followed and Fabian dropped to a severe short stack.

Level 14 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Serdar Demircan
Serdar Demircan

Over on the feature table, a three-way all-in showdown emerged in which Serdar Demircan faced the shoves of Erik Lindqwist for 47,000 in the hijack and the reshove by Bart van Dijk for 113,000 while in the cutoff. Demircan in the big blind pondered about his decision for a while and called.

Erik Lindqwist: {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}
Bart van Dijk: {a-Spades}{j-Spades}
Serdar Demircan: {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}

Demircan celebrated already when he found himself ahead against two opponents.

The {9-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{k-Diamonds} runout kept the Swede in the lead with his kicker advantage to reduce the field by two.

"The rising star ... back to back ... back to back, baby," Demircan celebrated after it was all over.

Van Dijk Doubles Through Wheatley

Level 14 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Over on the feature table, Pierre de Almeida raised to 9,000 with the {k-Hearts}{3-Hearts} and Raymond Wheatley called with the {k-Diamonds}{q-Spades}. Bart van Dijk then pushed for 47,000 with the {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}. De Almeida folded and Wheatley asked for a count before he reluctantly called.

The board ran out {a-Spades}{k-Spades}{8-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{4-Spades} and both stacks were nearly even after the hand was over.

Longhe Chops to Stay Alive

Level 14 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Alexis Longhe was all-in for fewer than 20 big blinds with the {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds} and he was up against the {a-Spades}{k-Spades} of Alin Constantin Ivan.

The {10-Spades}{5-Spades}{4-Clubs} flop was a mighty sweat as the Romanian picked up the nut flush draw. Nothing changed on the {j-Clubs} turn and the {q-Diamonds} river secured the split pot.

De Almeida Gets Demircan to Fold

Level 14 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Serdar Demircan raised to 10,000 with the {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} and Pierre de Almeida took a stand with the {10-Spades}{3-Spades}. He made it 40,000 to go and Demircan was trying to figure out his opponent before the Swede opted to fold.

"Maybe I will look stupid on TV in half an hour," Demircan added and then mentioned he had folded pocket tens.

Finland's Juho Santala four-bet jammed his shorter stack and was looked up by Hasmukh Khodiyara with the dominating stack size as they flipped for the tournament life.

Juho Santala: {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}
Hasmukh Khodiyara: {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}

While Santala spiked the {k-Clubs} in the window, it was followed by the {q-Clubs}{8-Clubs}. Nothing changed on the {2-Hearts} turn and {7-Diamonds} river to send Santala to the rail without anything to show for.
