In a blind versus blind situation, Cosmin Nedelea in the small blind and Evert Bos in the big blind went all in, both with approximately 220,000 chips.
Cosmin Nedelea: QxQx
Evert Bos: A♦9♦
Bos was lucky enough to hit a runner-runner straight on the board. Slightly covered, Nedelea was eliminated in 17th place and let his opponents gather on the two last tables of the tournament.
Sorin Flutur in middle position and Alexandru Ersen in the blinds raised each other preflop and all the chips went into the pot, with Ersen being the one at risk for more than 250,000 chips.
Alexandru Ersen: Q♠Q♦
Sorin Flutur: A♣J♣
Ersen was on his way to double up after the flop 6♦2♠K♦ and the turn J♥. But the J♠ on the river gave trips to Flutur, cruelly eliminating Ersen.
A new "all-in and call situation" occurred on the feature table, with Raymond Wheatley at risk for 90,000 from the small blind against Dragos Anton in the big blind.
Raymond Wheatley: 6♦6♣
Dragos Anton: K♣10♣
The dealer fanned a board of J♠7♦7♥10♥3♠, which brought a Ten on the turn. With a better pair, Anton won this pot and has now more than 1,000,000 chips, while Wheatley was eliminated in 19th place.
A player opened in early position, and was called by Stefan Gheorghe on the button. Then in the big blind, Herli Olop three-bet all in for 55,000. The initial raiser folded, but Gheorghe called.
Herli Olop: 10♥10♣
Stefan Gheorghe: J♠10♠
On a board of 2♥J♥6♣6♦K♣, a Jack came on the flop to give the best pair to Gheorghe, and send Olop to the rail.
Cards went on their backs on Table 2 with Robin Valting who called Bjorn Samuelsson's all in on a board of J♥9♥J♦K♣Q♦.
According to Samuelsson after the hand, he opened preflop and was called by Valting, who called again a continuation bet to 18,000. Then both players checked on the turn.
On the river, Valting lead out for 20,000. After that, Samuelsson raised all in and Valting called with the smallest stack.
Robin Valting: K♠10♦
Bjorn Samuelsson: K♦J♣
Valting hit a straight on the river, but Samuelsson already had a full house on the turn. Finishing 21st, Valting wins €3,150.
Level: 19
Blinds: 6,000/12,000
Ante: 12,000
Ivan Alin Constantin opened to 20,000 from early position. Everybody folded to Daniel Balaiasa, who went all in for 90,000 in the big blind. Constantin didn't wait to call.
Daniel Balaiasa: A♠2♣
Ivan Alin Constantin: J♦J♥
Nothing changed on 8♦9♠10♣4♠3♥, so Balaiasa's tournament came to an end in 22nd place for €3,150.
Stefan Gheorghe opened to 20,000 from under the gun. Then Balazs Kovacs three-bet all in for 57,000 from the cutoff. The button and the blinds folded to Gheorghe, who called.
Balazs Kovacs: J♦J♣
Stefan Gheorghe: A♣Q♦
Gheorghe hit a pair on the flop Q♥2♣7♥, and sent Kovacs to the rail after the turn K♠ and the river 5♣.
After Iulian Leonte doubled up after the redraw, Sorin Flutur opened from the hijack, then Sandor Szekely raised all in for 47,000 in the small blind. The big blind folded, and Flutur called.
Sandor Szekely: Q♣10♥
Sorin Flutur: K♥10♣
Szekely didn't find any help on a board of A♦2♠6♦5♦J♦, so he was eliminated in 24th place for €2,810.
With Petter Berg's elimination, there are now 24 players remaining. The clock has been stopped to do a redraw on three tables.
