Zhong Chen Eliminated in 11th Place (€4,999)

Level 17 : 0/0, 5,000 ante
Zhong Chen
Zhong Chen

Zhong Chen was left very short and was all-in preflop. The other four players all came along and checked the {10-Clubs}{j-Spades}{8-Diamonds} flop.

Brian Cornell bet 15,000 on the {q-Clubs} turn and only Reto Herrmann called. The pair checked the {8-Clubs} river and Cornell announced straight with {k-Clubs}{9-Hearts} and Herrmann mucked.

Chen squeezed his cards one at a time, showing {q-Hearts} needing another queen or eight to stay alive. However, his other card was the {6-Spades} and he was eliminated.

Stratmeyer Doubles into Chip Lead

Level 16 : 0/0, 4,000 ante

On a {10-Spades}{j-Hearts}{a-Spades}{q-Spades}{8-Hearts} river, and with 150,000 in the middle already, both Christian Stratmeyer and Brian Cornell checked to Didier Rabl who moved all in.

Stratmeyer eventually folded with Cornell open-folding {k-}{j-}

"Good call," said Rabls howing {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} for a set, with Stratmeyer doubling with the same hand as Cornell {k-Hearts}{j-Spades}

Bulut Doubles Up

Level 16 : 0/0, 4,000 ante

Emil Bise shoved with Israel Bulut last to act. Bulut called and was all in for 98,000.

Israel Bulut: {j-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}
Emil Bise: {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}

There was a jack-high flop of {j-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{7-Clubs} and although Bise rivered a straight after the {6-Clubs}{8-Spades} runout, Bulut's straight was larger and he doubled up.
