Georgi Dangel Eliminated in 11th Place (€4,121)

Dan O'Hair

Level 28 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Georgi Dangel opened to 100,000 from the cutoff and was called by Martino Cito in the small blind and Roland Israelashvili in the big blind.

Action checked to Dangel on the A♦7♥9♠ flop and he shoved for his remaining stack. Cito called to put Dangel at risk and Israelashvili folded.

Georgi Dangel: A♥Q♥J♦2♣
Martino Cito: K♣10♦9♣7♠

Dangel was behind Cito's two pair and the K♦ turn and 7♣ river needlessly improved Cito to a full house — eliminating Dangel in 11th place.

Level 27 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Omar Eljach opened to 75,000 from the button and Michal Mrakes defended from the big blind.

The flop came J♦5♦5♠. Mrakes checked, Eljach fired a 150,000 continuation bet and Mrakes put in a check-raise to 600,000. Eljach made the call.

On the 7♠ turn Mrakes bet 350,000 and once again Eljach called.

Mrakes slowed down with a check on the 10♦ river and Eljach bet 300,000. Mrakes made the fold and Eljach collected a gargantuan pot without showdown.

Level 27 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Martino Cito opened to 65,000 from under the gun and received calls from Georgi Dangel in the small blind and Martino Cito in the big blind.

The flop came 10♥9♦3♣ and action checked around to Cito who bet 125,000. Dengel called before Volcovschi moved all in for 435,000. Cito rejammed and Dengel got out of the way leaving Volcovschi all in and at risk.

Diana Volcovschi: Q♥Q♣J♥7♥
Martino Cito: A♣J♣8♣8♥

Cito had a pair of eights and open-ended straight draw while Volcovschi was well ahead with an overpair and bigger straight draw. She remained ahead on the 4♣6♠ runout to collect more than a full double up while making a small dent in Cito's stack.

Level 27 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

In a preflop confrontation Alan Mehamed was all in and at risk against chip leader Omar Eljach.

Alan Mehamed: A♠A♣10♦9♣
Omar Eljach: K♣K♥9♥9♠

Mehamed was ahead with pocket-aces but the Q♣9♦7♦ flop brought out the case nine giving Eljach a set. Eljach remained ahead on the 4♣ turn and 8♦ river to secure yet another knockout, extending his lead over the rest of the field while Mehamed's run came to an end.

Level 27 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Pascal Foged raised to 85,000 on the button and was three-bet to 280,000 by Michal Mrakes from the small blind. Action folded back to Foged, who called.

Foged shoved for his remaining stack on the 2♣7♥Q♣ flop and Mrakes called to put Foged at risk.

Pascal Foged: 7♠6♥5♦4♥
Michal Mrakes: A♣K♠J♠3♣

The 5♣ turn improved Mrakes to a flush and a meaningless 9♦ river sealed the deal, eliminating Foged in 13th place.

Luc Ramos: A♦J♣10♥7♦
Georgi Dangel: A♠K♦10♠4♦

The 3♠ turn and 2♥ river kept Dangel's pair of aces best with a superior kicker and Ramos was eliminated in 14th place.

Level 27 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Sebastien Lucina was heads-up from the big blind against Omar Eljach on a completed board of 9♠Q♦7♠9♣7♦ with a large pot already in the middle.

Lucina bet 195,000 and Eljach shoved, which was enough to put Lucina all in for his remaining stack. Lucina agonized over the decision a bit before calling.

Eljach showed A♠Q♥9♦8♠ for nines-full of queens. It was best against the K♠K♦9♥7♣ of Lucina for nines-full of sevens and Lucina was eliminated in 15th place on a brutal cooler.
