Level 28 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante
Kfir Levy
Kfir Levy

Kfir Levy moved his short stack of 325,000 into the middle from the cutoff and Matous Skorepa called from the big blind. Levy tabled {a-Spades}{q-Clubs} and Skorepa showed {j-Spades}{8-Clubs}.

The flop came {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{3-Hearts} and Skorepa was still out front with ace-high. The {2-Hearts} on the turn brought a third heart but neither player held a heart in their hand. The river landed the {j-Hearts} and Skorepa nailed a pair of jacks to eliminate Levy in 18th place.

Garcia Blancas Busts Böhringer

Level 28 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante
Torsten Böhringer
Torsten Böhringer

Down to his last 415,000, Torsten Böhringer moved all in from the button and Ruben Garcia Blancas in the big blind said "okay, I am gonna call this. Good luck my friend," before the cards were turned over.

Torsten Böhringer: {A-Hearts}{4-Spades}
Ruben Garcia Blancas: {A-Spades}{9-Hearts}

The flop of {9-Spades}{8-Clubs}{6-Clubs} left Böhringer in bad shape, and the {5-Spades} turn and {J-Clubs} river sent the German to the rail in 19th place. All remaining 18 players will now redraw to the last two tables.

Motovsky Motoring to the Top

Level 28 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

The action was folded around to Roman Motovsky on the button who just announced all-in for 1,400,000. The small blind folded and Sascha Ranzinger was left with a decision for his tournament life in the big blind.

"Normally this is an easy decision and I would snap," Ranzinger mumbled to himself. It wasn't a snap-call but he did eventually stick in his remaining 900,000 chips. Much to his demise, Ranzinger's {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} was behind Motovsky's {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}.

The board ran out {9-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{q-Spades} and Ranzinger was eliminated. Motovsky gave a fist pump to show some excitement as he moved closer to the top of the leaderboard. Just prior to that, Ozan Guruz was eliminated on another table and the field was reduced to the last 19 hopefuls.

Cauchy Doubles Through Paap

Level 28 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

Gaetan Cauchy was all in and at risk for his last 715,000 with the {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} and Martin Paap had the slightly inferior pocket pair in {7-Clubs}{7-Hearts}. The board ran out {3-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{2-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{10-Spades} and Cauchy celebrated his double up.

The Frenchman remains below the current average of two million, while Paap was reduced to fewer than ten big blinds.

Skorepa's Kings Find Another Victim

Level 28 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante
Neville Fitz-Jim
Neville Fitz-Jim

Neville Fitz-Jim raised from the button for 125,000 and Matous Skorepa three-bet to 410,000 from the small blind. Fitz-Jim moved all in for around 2.1 million and Skorepa snap-called with the superior stack.

Neville Fitz-Jim: {8-Hearts}{8-Spades}
Matous Skorepa: {K-Clubs}{K-Hearts}

The {A-Hearts}{K-Spades}{6-Hearts} flop left Fitz-Jim in desperate shape as he needed running eights for quads. Instead, it was all over on the {3-Hearts} turn and the {J-Spades} river was a formality.

Lutkemeier Dodges Some Outs

Level 27 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

Matous Skorepa opened to 125,000 and Philipp Lutkemeier pushed all-in for 390,000. Skorepa wasn't happy about it but he still made the call and tabled {a-Hearts}{4-Hearts}. Lutkemeier held {j-Spades}{j-Clubs} and was in a good position to double up.

The flop came {k-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} and Skorepa picked up a lot of outs with a flush draw and a pair. The turn was the {9-Diamonds} and Skorepa thought he made the flush as he saw a red card hit the felt. The river landed the {8-Spades} and Lutkemeier held on to double up.

Paap Doubles Again

Level 27 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

Karel Kratochvil opened the action with a raise to 105,000 and Martin Paap three-bet to 320,000 in the cutoff. Roman Motovsky four-bet all in from the small blind and Gaetan Cauchy glanced up from the big blind behind his sunglasses, then folded. Kratochvil folded rather quickly and Paap snap-called all in for 800,000.

Martin Paap: {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}
Roman Motovsky: {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds}

The board of {7-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} failed to improve Motovsky and he lost one third of his stack, while the comeback of Paap continues.

Fuchs Leaves Mol With No Chips

Level 27 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

A short-stacked Maarten Mol was all in and at risk for 405,000 and big stack Florian Fuchs called.

Maarten Mol: {A-Hearts}{3-Spades}
Florian Fuchs: {A-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}

The kicker problem became even bigger on the {A-Spades}{J-Clubs}{9-Clubs} flop, and Mol was officially drawing dead on the {7-Diamonds} turn to make the {4-Hearts} river a formality.
