Samuele Lo Presti raised to 30,000 with the {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts} and Rain Molderkivi just flat-called with the {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}. The {9-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} flop was checked by the initial raiser and Molderkivi bet 35,000 to win the pot right there with the dominated ace.

Dylan Kirstein Eliminated in 15th Place (€4,740)

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Dylan Kirstein
Dylan Kirstein

The outer table brought the preflop all-in contest between Tal Sardal from under the gun and Dylan Kirstein one seat over as both held near identical stack sizes.

Tal Sardal: {7-Clubs}{7-Hearts}
Dylan Kirstein: {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}

Thanks to a board of {j-Spades}{9-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{q-Hearts}, Sardal doubled for 495,000 and jumped to a seven-figure stack.

Moments later, Kirstein was all-in for the last few chips and he was looked up by Sardal out of the big blind.

Dylan Kirstein: {k-Clubs}{9-Hearts}
Tal Sardal: {8-Hearts}{5-Clubs}

The {q-Spades}{8-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} board improved Sardal to jacks and eights as Kirstein dropped out in 15th place for €4,740.

Daniele Degennaro Eliminated in 16th Place (€4,230)

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Daniele Degennaro
Daniele Degennaro

One more hand was to be played on the feature table and that one brought an all-in and call with Daniele Degennaro at risk of elimination from the button against Mats Karlsson on the big blind..

Daniele Degennaro: {a-Diamonds}{6-Spades}
Mats Karlsson: {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}

Things looked dire after the {a-Spades}{10-Clubs}{8-Clubs} flop but the {6-Diamonds} turn improved the Italian to two pair. Plenty of outs were to be dodged and the {k-Clubs} river improved Karlsson to the nut flush, sending Degennaro to the rail in 16th place for €4,230.

The 15 remaining contenders will now redraw to the last two tables.

Rene Kuhlman raised to 50,000 to then call the three-bet shove by Oliver Said for 320,000 total.

Oliver Said: {a-Hearts}{3-Hearts}
Rene Kuhlman: {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades}

The pocket pair remained ahead on the {q-Hearts}{j-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} board and Said had to settle for 17th place, taking home €4,230. With the field down to 16 players, another redraw will take place upon completion of the current hand.

Said Gets a Shove Through Against Kirstein

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Oliver Said defended the big blind against a button raise by Dylan Kirstein and that led them to the {8-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{2-Hearts} flop. Said checked it over to the initial raiser, who continued for 25,000.

The check-jam followed and Kirstein eyeballed the push for 275,000 without coming along.

Another Double for Illingworth

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Daniel Lee Illingworth
Daniel Lee Illingworth

Daniel Illingworth limped in from the small blind and then called all-in when Mats Karlsson jammed the far bigger stack in the big blind.

Daniel Illingworth: {7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}
Mats Karlsson: {9-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}

Board: {a-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{j-Clubs}

The flopped middle set was good enough for the American to double and his sudden rush propelled him away from the bottom of the leaderboard.

Kenneth Heinsvig Eliminated in 18th Place (€3,370)

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Kenneth Heinsvig
Kenneth Heinsvig

The very next all-in showdown on the outer tables only took a few moments more and this time it was Kenneth Heinsvig who pushed all-in for around 250,000. He was quickly called by Rene Kuhlman and they were off to the races.

Kenneth Heinsvig: {5-Clubs}{5-Hearts}
Rene Kuhlman: {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}

The {a-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{7-Spades} flop improved Kuhlman to the superior pair while the {9-Hearts} turn provided a gutshot on top for Heinsvig. However, the {7-Diamonds} river only paired the board and the field was reduced to the final 17 contenders, also ensuring a pay jump to €4,230.
