Richard Hayes

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Jaime Lebre moved all in from the cutoff for 375,000, and received a call from Konstantinos Nanos on the button.

Kevin Fluegel was in the small blind, and he three-bet to 800,000, leaving himself 170,000 behind. Nanos immediately jammed with the covering stack, and Fluegel called off for the rest of his.

Jaime Lebre: 7♣7♦ All in
Kevin Fluegel: Q♣Q♠ All in
Konstantinos Nanos: K♥7♥

Fluegel was in a great spot with queens, and he held across the J♣4♠2♠8♠2♣ runout, busting Lebre and damaging Nanos.

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

A pot of 640,000 had developed by the turn, on a board of Q♠8♥5♣4♦, in a hand between Yuhan Wang in the cutoff, and Georgios Tsouloftas in the big blind.

Tsouloftas led out with a bet of 175,000, and Wang jammed for 1,070,000.

Tsouloftas went into the tank, but after around two minutes put in calling chips.

Yuhan Wang: A♣3♣ All in
Georgios Tsouloftas: 6♥5♦

Wang had jammed his gutshot wheel draw, and Tsouloftas had found a great call with third pair and a gutshot.

The 4♥ hit on the river, and that was the end of Mini Main Event winner Wang. Tsouloftas celebrated wildly when the river hit, Wang looking slightly stunned at what had transpired.

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Darius Neagoe raised to 160,000 in middle position and Yehonatan Behor moved all in for 690,000 in the hijack. Konstantinos Nanos then reshoved in the small blind, and Neagoe snap-called for 2,005,000.

Yehonatan Behor: J♣J♠ All in
Darius Neagoe: A♦K♣ All in
Konstantinos Nanos: A♥Q♥

Behor had a chance to triple up if he could survive the coin flip, but Neagoe hit top pair on the K♦10♦6♥ flop to take the lead. The K♠ turn improved him to trips, while the river was the 7♣. Neagoe scooped the entire pot, sending Behor to the rail in 14th place while earning a double up off Nanos, leaving him with less than a big blind.

Level 27 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Darius Neagoe raised to 200,000 under the gun and Konstantinos Nanos called for his last 60,000 on the button. Kevin Fluegel and Rene Schnitzler also came along from the blinds.

All three players checked to the river on a board of A♣9♥9♦J♠8♥. Fluegel then bet 100,000, and only Schnitzler called.

Fluegel showed J♥4♥, Schnitzler had J♣8♦, and Nanos tossed 5♠5♦ into the muck as Fluegel and Schnitzler chopped the pot.

It wasn't all bad news for Nanos, who pulled a €12,500 bounty immediately after collecting his payout.

Things Getting Spicy Between Tsouloftas and Fragale

Richard Hayes

Level 27 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Georgios Tsouloftas opened to 200,000 under the gun, and Antonio Fragale defended the big blind.

On the 6♦5♠4♣ flop, Fragale led out with a bet of 165,000, and Tsouloftas called.

The 9♣ turn was checked to the 3♦ river, where Fragale led out once more with a bet of 400,000. Tsouloftas took a bit of time, but eventually put in calling chips.

Fragale windmilled the J♣ into the middle of the table, followed by the 7♣ for the rivered one-card straight.

Tsouloftas didn't like what he interpreted as a slowroll, and said so to Fragale, who maintained he didn't know which card was which when he tabled the jack first, the matter still being discussed a couple of minutes later.

Georgios Tsouloftas	3,700,000 600,000	600,000

Christian Zetzsche

Level 27 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Ian Kostenko pushed all in from under the gun for 450,000, and Matthias Gude in the small blind called all in for 370,000. Elia Salerno, in the big blind, glanced at both severe short stacks and called to potentially claim two chances at pulling the last €12,500 Mystery Bounty.

Matthias Gude: A♥10♠ All in
Ian Kostenko: A♠4♥ All in
Elia Salerno: 8♥2♣

The board ran out Q♦10♦5♥J♠J♣ and Gude tripled up. Kostenko won the small side pot, but was forced all-in from the big blind in the very next hand regardless.

Antonio Fragale opened to 200,000 in the next hand, and Salerno called in the small blind. On the Q♣9♣4♣ flop, Salerno check-called for 105,000 before the two active players from Italy checked down the Q♦ turn and 5♣ river.

The 9♠6♠ for two pair of Salerno was no good, as Fragale had the K♦K♣ for the king-high flush. Kostenko's tournament ended in 12th place, as he couldn't beat either with his big blind holding of 10♦5♥.

Antonio Fragale	3,950,000 350,000	350,000

Richard Hayes

Level 27 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Antonio Fragale and Georgios Tsouloftas seemed to be friends again, and were smiling in conversation before they proceeded to play two hands against each other.

In the first, Fragale opened to 200,000 under the gun and Tsouloftas called in the next seat.

The K♣Q♦3♦ flop was checked to the 7♦ turn, where Fragale check-folded to a bet of 275,000 from Tsouloftas.

In the next hand, Tsouloftas opened under the gun to 200,000 and Fragale defended the big blind.

The 10♣5♠4♠ flop was checked to the K♠ turn, where Fragale check-called a bet of 150,000 from Tsouloftas.

The 7♥ river was checked through. Fragale tabled K♣10♠ for two pair, tabling the ten first quickly followed by the king, and Tsouloftas nodded his head and mucked.

"It's ok if I show like this?" asked Fragale, indicating perhaps the needle had not quite gone.

Level 27 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Rene Schnitzler raised to 200,000 in the cutoff and Christian Schneider moved all in for 1,235,000 in the small blind. Josef Gulas then also shoved for 1,070,000 in the big blind.

"I have no idea what to do. I trust my belly," Schnitzler said as Neagoe started to rub his stomach. Schnitzler used a few time banks before calling to put both players at risk.

Josef Gulas: K♦K♣ All in
Christian Schneider: A♣K♠ All in
Rene Schnitzler: A♦J♦

Gulas was ahead with his kings as the flop came 10♠7♥9♠. "Eight is coming," Schnitzler said, looking to complete a straight draw, but he missed the Q♦ turn, (although it gave him more outs to a straight) and 5♥ river as Gulas held on to triple up. Schneider took the small side pot off Schnitzler.

"I love to gamble," Schnitzler said after the hand.

Ridvan Sare Eliminated in 11th Place (€5,000)

Richard Hayes

Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Ridvan Sare jammed from the button for 1,040,000, and Antonio Fragale looked him up from the small blind.

Ridvan Sare: 8♦8♠ All in
Antonio Fragale: A♦7♦

Sare was in good shape versus a single overcard, but the A♣4♦2♦ flop was a nightmare, giving Fragale top pair and the flush draw.

Sare was down to two outs, and there was no miracle on the 4♥ turn or 9♣ river.

With ten players remaining, they are on the final table bubble.

Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Josef Gulas opened to 275,000 from the button, and Rene Schnitzler defended the big blind.

Rene Schnitzler check-called versus a continuation bet of 250,000 from Gulas on the A♠K♣10♠ flop,

The 3♥ turn was checked to the 9♦ river, where Schnitzler checked once more.

Gulas fired out a bet of 900,000, and seemed surprised when Schnitzler check-jammed with the covering stack.

Gulas, who had 1,750,000 behind, went into the tank, and ultimately folded, sending a chunky pot to Schnitzler.
