David Salituro

Level 25 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Antonios Onoufriou was forced all in from the small blind as Alessio La Francesca raised to 240,000 under the gun, chasing away the rest of the table.

Antonios Onoufriou: 10♥6♣ All in
Alessio La Francesca: J♥J♣

The K♣10♠6♦ flop gave Onoufriou two pair, while the 6♥ turn improved him to a full house. The river was the 5♠ and Onoufriou doubled up to more than one big blind.

Level 25 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Daniel Knuth raised to 250,000 from the hijack and Antonios Onoufriou called from the big blind.

The flop came 10♥J♥6♥ and after Onoufriou checked, Knuth bet 125,000. Onoufriou then raised to 325,000, which Knuth called.

A 7♥ on the turn checked through to the 4♠ river, where Onoufriou bet 250,000. Knuth then shoved for 1,105,000, and after burning through several time banks, Onoufriou called and showed K♥J♦ for a flush. Knuth had the best hand the whole way with his A♥5♥ for the nut flush, and scooped a big pot.

Level 25 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Zdenek Zizka opened the cutoff to 240,000 and then called the shove of Michel Karim, who moved all in from the big blind for 340,000.

Michel Karim: K♠9♦ All in
Zdenek Zizka: K♣4♣

Karim had a chance to get back into it, and he took that opportunity as the 8♠2♦10♦9♥5♦ runout meant he doubled up.

Level 24 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Stephan Klam moved all in for 740,000 under the gun and Michel Karim called in middle position. Action then folded to Ratmir Kesidis in the big blind who used two time banks before reshoving for 2,155,000. Karim tanked for a minute, but eventually called to put both players at risk.

Stephan Klam: A♥9♠ All in
Ratmir Kesidis: A♦J♥ All in
Michel Karim: K♣Q♣

Kesidis' supporters crowded around the table to await the flop in the massive three-way pot, but he was left shaking his head as the 10♦4♣3♣ flop gave Karim a flush draw.

The 5♥ turn was safe for Kesidis, while the river was the 8♦, and his ace-jack-high played to scoop the entire pot, earning a double up off Karim while sending Klam to the rail in 15th place.

Ratmir Kesidis	5,200,000 3,500,000	3,500,000
Michel Karim	400,000 2,200,000	2,200,000

Giovanni Giudice Eliminated in 16th Place (€6,000)

Level 24 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Ratmir Kesidis limped in from early position and Giovanni Giudice made it 300,000 to go from middle position. Oleh Okhotskyi was in the small blind and four-bet to 780,000, which got Kesidis to fold, but Giudice called after using a time bank.

A flop of 9♥8♥A♦ hit the table and a continuation-bet of 540,000 came in from Okhotskyi, which Giudice called to the 4♠ turn. A snap-shove then followed from Okhotskyi, and two time banks later, Giudice called off his stack of 1,400,000.

Giovanni Giudice: A♣Q♣ All in
Oleh Okhotskyi: A♠K♠

It was brutal for Giudice, who needed a queen on the river to stay alive, otherwise Okhotskyi would be a huge chip leader with two tables to go.

One player did improve on the river, but unfortunately for Giudice, it wasn't him as the K♦ gave Okhotskyi two pair and the huge pot.

Player	Chips	Progress
Oleh Okhotskyi	7,500,000 3,100,000	3,100,000
Ratmir Kesidis	1,700,000 300,000	300,000

Ratmir Kesidis limped in from middle position, Silviu Baltateanu called in the small blind, while Oleh Okhotskyi checked his option.

The flop came Q♦6♥5♦ and Okhotskyi bet 200,000. Both opponents called and action was checked around on the J♥ turn.

Baltateanu then led out for 375,000 on the Q♣ river and Okhotskyi quickly folded, while Kesidis also tossed his cards away and Baltateanu took the pot.

Level 24 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Zdenek Zizka was involved in two early pots after the restart, which resulted in a small net loss.

First, Silviu Baltateanu opened from early position to 200,000 and Zizka three-bet to 485,000. When Baltateanu four-bet to 1,100,000, Zizka folded.

In the next hand, Zizka limped in from middle position and Stephan Klam completed the small blind. Michel Karim checked his option in the big blind.

When the action got to Zizka on the K♥K♦K♣ flop, he bet 100,000, which only Karim called to the 2♠ turn, Karim checked, and then folded when Zizka bet 285,000.

Level 24 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Ioannis Chorianopoulos Alessio La Francesca

Ioannis Chorianopoulos shoved from middle position for 1,150,000 and Alessio La Francesca called in the hijack.

Ioannis Chorianopoulos : 6♥6♣ All in
Alessio La Francesca: A♥J♥

Chorianopoulos was flipping for his tournament life, but his pocket sixes held strong through the Q♣2♠9♥7♠5♦ runout, which earned him a much-needed double-up.
