Alexander Hepting Eliminated in 10th Place (€8,400)
Level 27
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
In the last hand of the level, Alexander Hepting raised to 150,000 from under the gun and Filippo Ragone defended the big blind. On the J♣5♦3♠ flop, Ragone checked before calling a bet of 350,000 by Hepting which led them to the 2♣ on the turn. Ragone now led for 425,000 and Hepting moved all-in to get called instantly.
Alexander Hepting: A♣J♠Q♠5♣
Filippo Ragone: 6♦6♣5♠4♥
Ragone's turned straight was up against the two pair and ace-high flush draw of Hepting. The river was the 7♠ and that only improved Ragone to the seven-high straight. Both stacks were counted and the 1,330,000 of the Italian covered by one single big blind.
All remaining nine players are now drawing for their seats on the nine-handed final table.
