Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

The field is shrinking at an alarming rate once more and more than one dozen players have been eliminated as of lately including Plamen Yakimov, Daniel Duthon, Daniel Dinulescu, Ismail Kalkan and Bleron Maliqi.

Maliqi ended up all in and at risk with {K-Clubs}{J-Spades} for top pair on the {J-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{7-Diamonds} flop. Giovanni Sances called with the {A-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} and turned the nut flush with the {9-Diamonds} to make the {7-Spades} river a formality.

Daniel Duthon was short all in with the {6-Clubs}{6-Spades} and his opponent had him dominated with {K-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}. Duthon flopped best on {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{6-Hearts}, but the {7-Diamonds} turn gave his opponent the superior full house. No case six but the {4-Diamonds} appeared on the river to eliminate the Swiss.

Dahan Caught Bluffing

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Asher Dahan
Asher Dahan

Tomer Lev called a big bet by Asher Dahan on the {A-Spades}{7-Hearts}{6-Spades}{8-Clubs} turn and Dahan then bet the {2-Clubs} river for 100,000. Lev had fewer than that behind and was sent deep into the think tank. After several minutes the clock was called on him and he called it off for the last 77,000.

Dahan tabled {10-Spades}{4-Spades} for a busted draw and Lev was visibly relieved with the {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}.

Panzeri and Roth Collide

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Attila Havacs has been able to increase his stack while fellow countryman Antal Roth saw his hopes dashed in a big pot. On the {K-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{3-Spades} flop, Alberto Panzeri check-raised all in for 119,000 into a bet of just 8,000 by Roth and the latter tank-called for almost all of his chips.

Alberto Panzeri: {A-Clubs}{6-Clubs}
Antal Roth: {J-Clubs}{10-Clubs}

Both had a flush draw and Roth the additional straight and straight flush draw. The {7-Diamonds} turn and {5-Hearts} river were blanks and Panzeri doubled with just ace-high, while Roth busted a few minutes later.

Elena Litvinyuk
Elena Litvinyuk

Elena Litvinyuk is no longer in her seat and Erich Kollmann confirmed that he won the most classic of coin flips with ace-king versus pocket queens to bust Litvinyuk before the money. There are only 64 players remaining now and the top 61 will cash for at least €802.

Chakroun Chops With Tsaknis

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Vasileios Tsaknis had Mohamed Chakroun all in and at risk for 78,000 and the player from Lebanon had the slightly inferior kicker with {A-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}. Tsaknis held the dominating {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs} and remained in a comfortable lead on the {9-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} flop and {2-Clubs} turn.

Chakroun had some chop outs and got there with the {2-Spades} river much to the delight of his nearby rail.

The Money Bubble is Reached

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

David Domjan and Jihad Bejjani have been eliminated to reduce the field to the last 62 hopefuls. Bejjani was unfortunate enough to run with the second best starting hand into the one hand that tops it all.

Jihad Bejjani: {K-Clubs}{K-Spades}
Jan Bendik: {A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}

The board came {J-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts} and Bejjani was ousted just shy of the money. Hand-for-hand play will commence shortly and two minutes will be taken off the clock for each hand.
