Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Julien Brulet - 10th place
Julien Brulet - 10th place

Mike Gerry opened to 80,000 and short stack Julien Brulet moved all in for what looked like 300,000. Gerry called off with {Q-Spades} {10-Clubs} and had two live cards against the {A-Spades} {J-Clubs} of Brulet. The board ran out {5-Clubs} {2-Hearts} {6-Diamonds} {10-Hearts} {4-Spades} and Brulet just missed out on the last table. There is now a redraw for the unofficial final table and once another player busts, the official final table will be set.

Very Tight Action

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

The biggest pot played as of lately came off the shove by Mike Gerry on a flop of {10-Spades} {Q-Hearts} {K-Spades} when Mohamed Mamouni had bet 100,000 and folded. Gerry opened the next hand to 80,000 and was called by Jozsef Szabo and Mamouni before everyone folded to the 200,000-three-bet of Nico Lombaerts.

Over on table 4, Heinrich Pauker and Yehoram Houri chopped a pot on a board of {X-} {9-Hearts} {10-Clubs} {K-Clubs} {J-Hearts}. Houri had bet the turn for 100,000 with {Q-Clubs} {J-Clubs} and the made straight as well as flush draw. Pauker's {K-Spades} {Q-Spades} did get the chop thanks to the river though.

Szabo Takes the Lead

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Nico Lombaerts raised to 80,000 from under the gun and was called by Jozsef Szabo and Mohamed Mamouni in the blinds. On a flop of {K-Spades} {4-Spades} {Q-Spades} all three players checked and Szabo then bet the {Q-Clubs} turn for 150,000. Mamouni folded and Lombaerts grabbed some orange T-25,000 chips carefully before min-raising to 300,000.

Within a matter of seconds, Szabo moved all in and Lombaerts folded just as quickly.

Both Julien's Give Up

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Miroslav Alilovic raised to 80,000 and was called by Julien Duveau on the button. On a flop of {4-Clubs} {7-Hearts} {J-Hearts}, Alilovic bet and won the pot.

Over on the second table, Julien Brulet has been grinding a short stack for quite some time and then opened to 80,000 from under the gun. Jozsef Szabo called from one seat over and both folded to the three-bet by Mohamed Mamouni on the button.

Gerry Slipping

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Mike Gerry min-raised preflop and Mohamed Mamouni defended his small blind to see a flop of {Q-Spades} {5-Diamonds} {2-Spades}. Mamouni check-called a bet and then the {A-Hearts} turn and {4-Diamonds} river were checked through. Mamouni showed the {K-Spades} {Q-Diamonds} and that won the pot.

Shortly after, Nico Lombaerts raised to 80,000 from the small blind and Gerry called from one seat over. On the {3-Diamonds} {9-Spades} {4-Hearts} flop, Lombaerts check-called a bet of 75,000 and the {7-Hearts} turn was checked by both players. Lombaerts bet the {5-Hearts} river for 120,000 and a frustrated looking Gerry mucked his cards.

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante
Eugenio Landi - 11th Place
Eugenio Landi - 11th Place

While Jean Marie Vandeborne had not even left the tournament area yet for two minutes, the next player followed him out of the door already. Eugenio Landi got his stack in preflop with {10-Clubs} {10-Spades} against the {J-Spades} {J-Clubs} of Jozsef Szabo and the board would only produce low cards to kill all hopes of a comeback for the Italian.
