Level 38 : Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

Tomas Krivsky shoved from the button for 4,350,000 and Michal Schuh snap-called from the big blind.

Tomas Krivsky: A♣Q♦ All in
Michal Schuh: A♠K♥

Krivsky entered the final table last in chips and managed to ladder his way up a few of the payouts, but his run came to an end as the 10♥2♣3♣6♦J♥ board left his Little Slick unimproved.

Level 37 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Pascal Pflock jammed in his stack of 2,075,000 from the cutoff and was looked up by Erik van Hulst in the big blind.

Pascal Pflock: 10♥8♥ All in
Erik van Hulst: A♣7♠

Van Hulst paired his ace on the 5♣K♠A♠ flop. Pflock turned some hope with the 8♠, but the 3♣ river could not save him as he took his exit in seventh.

Level 37 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Michal Schuh jammed his 7,900,000 in early position. The action folded to Mousa Awad in the big blind, who snap called for 4,900,000.

Mousa Awad: A♥K♦ All in
Michal Schuh: 10♥10♦

Schuh flopped Awad nearly dead when made a set on 10♣3♦9♦ The 6♠ turn sealed Awad's fate as the eight-place finisher, and he said his goodbyes as the 4♠ came on the river.

Level 36 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Hong Pham open-jammed as first to act, putting her stack of 4,250,000 at risk. Vito Branciforte called in the big blind before the rest of the table mucked their cards.

Hong Pham: A♦Q♠ All in
Vito Branciforte: A♠A♣

The 4♥8♠5♣ flop was of no help to Pham, but the Q♥ turn provided her a glimmer of hope. Ultimately, though, Branciforte's aces held as the 6♦ arrived on the river.

Pham was the first to depart from the final table, pocketing €24,750 for her ninth place.

Andrea Ricci Eliminated in 10th Place (€21,650)

Kai Cocklin

Level 36 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Georgios Tsouloftas shoved from the small blind and Andrea Ricci called for his stack of 3,700,000 in the big blind.

Andrea Ricci: Q♦9♦ All in
Georgios Tsouloftas: K♣5♣

Ricci had gone from joint chip leader just moments ago to now being at risk and behind.

The flop of 9♣8♦3♠ gave Ricci top pair but the K♥ saw him fall behind with just one card to come. No help arrived on the 3♣ river, which meant Ricci was eliminated in tenth.

Level 35 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Andrea Ricci raised to 600,000 as first to act. Georgios Tsouloftas defended in the big blind, going to a flop of 2♠Q♣7♦.

Tsouloftas checked to Ricci, who bet 500,000. Tsouloftas decided to call and saw the 4♣ appear on the turn.

Ricci sized up to 1,800,000. Tsouloftas stuck around to the 3♣ river, which he checked as well.

Ricci piled in 4,000,000 chips, sending Tsouloftas into the tank. Eventually, he slid in a call. Ricci showed A♥3♥ for a pair of threes, being bested by the 5♣4♥ of Tsouloftas who had called with third pair.

Level 35 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Michal Schuh raised to 600,000 under the gun. Tomas Krivsky then committed his 3,425,000 chips in the small blind. Schuh asked for a count but called midway through the process.

Tomas Krivsky: K♥J♥ All in
Michal Schuh: A♥Q♣

Both players paired on the Q♦2♥K♣ flop, but the K♦ turn left Schuh drawing dead. The 5♥ river could not change anything as Krivsky survived the final table bubble with his trips.

Branciforte Hits a Two-Outer to Survive

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Kai Cocklin

Level 35 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Vito Branciforte shoved for 2,490,000 from under the gun and Georgios Tsouloftas called on the button.

Vito Branciforte: 5♠5♥ All in
Georgios Tsouloftas: 10♠10♦

Branciforte was way behind and looked likely to be the final table bubble boy, especially after the 8♠K♠J♦ flop. However, the 5♣ turn improved him to a set and left him one card away from a double-up.

The 7♥ on the river changed nothing, and Tsouloftas had to fork out a portion of his stack.
