Break

Level 16 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

The heads-up players have decided to take a short break. Chen won a small hand just before the break and will come back at a 2:1 chip deficit.

Anton Morgenstern Eliminated in 3rd Place (€26,600)

Level 16 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Anton Morgenstern
Anton Morgenstern

The third showdown in a row between Marek Blasko and Anton Morgenstern would become the final duel between the pair, as Blasko finished off what he had begun. Morgenstern committed his final 430,000 in chips with {k-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} and Blasko came along with {a-Spades}{8-Diamonds}

The {8-Spades}{9-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} board kept Blasko ahead start-to-finish and Morgenstern said his goodbyes in third place. He received €26,600 for his accomplishment.

Blasko Runs A Big Bluff on Morgenstern

Level 16 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Marek Blasko
Marek Blasko

Anton Morgenstern limped in from the small blind and Marek Blasko checked his option. The flop was {3-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{2-Spades} and Morgenstern bet 40,000, which Blasko called.

On the {6-Spades} turn, Morgenstern continued with a bet of 125,000. Blasko made it 280,000 to go and Morgenstern came along with the call.

The river was the {j-Clubs} and Morgenstern checked. Blasko shoved all in, putting the German to the test for 430,000 total. Morgenstern slumped back in his chair and peeked at his {8-Hearts}{4-Hearts}. He thought for minutes before settling on a fold with much dismay.

Blasko casually flipped over {10-Hearts}{4-Spades} for a mere ten-high and Morgenstern jumped out of his seat in agony.

Blasko Doubles Up Through Morgenstern

Level 16 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Anton Morgenstern raised to 80,000 from the button and Marek Blasko shoved in the small blind. Zhong Chen quickly folded his big blind. Morgenstern asked for a count, Blasko said he had around 450,000 but wanted to count to make sure. Morgenstern looked at it for a bit while Blasko counted and then decided to make the call.

Marek Blasko: {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}
Anton Morgenstern: {a-Clubs}{8-Spades}

The board ran out {j-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{5-Hearts} for Blasko's pocket nines to hold and double him up.

The dealer counted out Blasko's stack and confirmed that Blasko had 515,000 in total, leaving Morgenstern behind with 650,000 as the shortest stack.

Jakob Miegel Eliminated in 4th Place

Level 16 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Jakob Miegel
Jakob Miegel

Zhong Chen raised to 70,000 first to act, Anton Morgenstern and Marek Blasko folded, but Jakob Miegel three-bet shoved all in from the big blind for a little over half a million. Chen, playing 494,000 total, sighed deep, sunk in his chair, then flicked in a bunch of calling chips after five seconds or so.

Zhong Chen: {j-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}
Jakob Miegel: {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts}

The coin flip was as crucial as they'd come and would more or less decide who would bubble the tournament. The Dutch rail, including Paul van Oort and David Hu, jumped to their feet and all of them watched the {7-Spades}{2-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} flop unfold. Chen kept the lead and remained ahead after the {5-Hearts} turn and {7-Clubs} river, which he celebrated loudly.

Left with mere crumbs, Miegel was all in for 53,000 in the next hand and called by Blasko and Chen. The active players checked it down on {10-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}. Chen showed {9-Clubs}{7-Clubs} for a flush, Blasko {a-Hearts}{7-Hearts} and Miegel was eliminated with {a-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}.

All remaining players are guaranteed at least €26,600.

Blasko Doubles Through Chen

Level 15 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Zhong Chen raised to 60,000 from the button and Marek Blasko shoved for his last 259,000 in the big blind. Chen asked for a count and the dealer confirmed the amount. Chen looked at his cards several times, cut out calling chips and then counted the remainder of his stack. Chen sighed and then flicked in the chips for the call.

Marek Blasko: {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}
Zhong Chen: {j-Spades}{9-Spades}

The board ran out {k-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} for Blasko to double up.

Chip Counts

Level 15 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

After a limp from Jakob Miegel on the button, Zhong Chen made it 90,000 from the small blind. Miegel called but folded to a flop bet of 65,000 on {9-Spades}{6-Hearts}{4-Spades} to give Chen the lead.

A few hands later, Blasko and Miegel got it preflop all in with {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs} and {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}, respectively. The result was the most likely outcome — a split pot — and Blasko and Miegel took their stacks back.
