Patrik Jaros Eliminated in 19th Place (€4,179)

Level 17 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Patrik Jaros
Patrik Jaros

Patrik Jaros under the gun opened to 24,000 and was called by Omid Novin on the button, Ian Bradley,in the small blind and Amir Mozaffarian in the big blind.

Both the blinds checked on the {k-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{10-Diamonds} flop and Jaros bet 100,000 which left him with around 80,000 behind.

Novin folded, Bradley potted before Mozaffarian folded. Bradley then exposed his cards before Jaros had officially called.

The floorman was called as the table explained that Jaros made a forward motion which may have contributed to Bradley exposing his cards early. A ruling was made that Jaros would have to call in and then his hand was exposed.

Patrik Jaros: {j-Spades}{10-Spades}{9-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}
Ian Bradley: {a-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}

Jaros had flopped a straight, however it was inferior to the Broadway straight held by Bradley.

The {5-Hearts} turn and {q-Diamonds} river sealed Jaros' fate and he was eliminated in 19th place.

On a flop of {q-}{j-Hearts}{8-}, the stacks of Vadim Zakharyan and Richard Toth went into the middle with the former as the player at risk.

Richard Toth: {10-}{10-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{8-}

Zakharyan had the gutshot at his disposal but the {5-Hearts} turn now also gave Toth a flush draw on top with the dominating bottom set. The {j-Spades} river improved Toth to a full house and Zakharyan was eliminated in 20th place.

Emre Zingal: {9-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}
Ian Bradley: {k-Spades}{j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{9-Spades}

Richard Toth: {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{j-Spades}{10-Hearts}

The {k-Spades}{10-Spades}{4-Diamonds} flop gave Toth the open-ender while some of his outs were not available due to Ryduchowski holding two of the aces and the spades flush draw.

Defending Champion Ribeiro Eliminated on the Bubble

Level 14 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Tomas Ribeiro
Tomas Ribeiro

One full orbit passed and there have been all-in showdowns but each time, the player at risk survived. As it happened, Tomas Ribeiro was forced all-in from the big blind and three opponents had limped in. They checked the {q-Spades}{10-Spades}{2-Clubs} flop and Amir Mozaffarian in the small blind bet the {6-Clubs} turn for 20,000. Jaroslav Peter folded in the cutoff and Alan Sabo called on the button.

The {9-Spades} river was checked and Ribeiro tabled the {a-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} for just a pair of sixes. Sabo had the {j-Clubs}{7-Spades}{5-Hearts}{4-Clubs} and Mozaffarian won the pot with the {10-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{2-Hearts} for tens and nines to burst the money bubble.

Sabo Busts Eljach in Huge Pot

Level 13 : 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Omar Eljach
Omar Eljach

Heads-up to the {a-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{7-Spades}{2-Diamonds} turn, Alan Sabo checked out of the small blind and Omar Eljach bet the pot for 125,000. Sabo then moved all-in and Eljach immediately sighed. "I guess it is for the glory. How can I fold this hand?" more to himself more than his opponent.

He gave it another 30 seconds to mull over the decision and called with a near identical big stack by using the words "no gamble no future."

Omar Eljach: {k-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}
Alan Sabo: {a-Hearts}{a-Spades}{k-Spades}{10-Clubs}

Eljach was calling for a diamond while Sabo demanded a spade. It was Sabo who got the wish granted on the {9-Spades} river and Eljjach's 498,000 were covered by fewer than one big blind.
