Chris Ferguson Eliminated in 23rd Place (€6,221)

Level 30 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Chris Ferguson
Chris Ferguson

Chris Ferguson opened to 225,000 in middle position and Dieter Becker went for broke by shoving all in for 2,250,000 in the small blind. Ferguson snap-called and the cards were rather surprising.

Dieter Becker: {k-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}
Chris Ferguson: {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}

The flop came {q-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} and Becker picked up a pair to stay alive. The {9-Diamonds} on the turn also gave Becker a flush draw. The {a-Diamonds} completed the board and despite Ferguson making a set of aces, Becker's flush earned him the pot.

Ferguson was down to just two big blinds after the hand and was eliminated just moments later.

Level 30 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Kristof Lenart
Kristof Lenart

Pasquale Braco is unstoppable in the last two levels and now has a big lead over the field with 7,800,000 chips.

In his latest hand, he three-bet from the small blind against Kristof Lenart's open from the button and Lenart called.

The flop came {k-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{5-Spades} and Braco put a big pile of grey T100,000 chips in the middle, more than enough to cover Lenart's stack, who called all in.

Pasquale Braco: {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}
Kristof Lenart: {j-Spades}{10-Spades}

Lenart had a massive draw but Braco's top pair held after the {7-Hearts} on the turn and the {5-Clubs} on the river.
