Dimitrios Michailidis Eliminated in 18th Place (€7,250)

Maxime Taldir

Level 30 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Dimitrios Michailidis jammed for 2,350,000 from under the gun. Roman Isaienko in the cutoff three-bet all-in for 3,500,000 and Alkiviadis Stamatis on the button raised all-in as well with a bigger stack to make the blinds fold.

Dimitrios Michailidis: K♠Q♥ All in
Roman Isaienko: A♠J♦ All in
Alkiviadis Stamatis: A♥K♦

Stamatis was in the lead, but Isaienko was lucky enough to hit top pair on J♥6♠4♦9♥4♥ to scoop the pot and send Michailidis to the rail.

At the same time at another table, Andrei Spataru was at risk as well against Stanislav Koleno in the big blind, but they both had ace-queen and split the pot.

Level 30 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Salih Atac raised to 800,000 from the small blind with K♣Q♦ and Francesco Zappala three-bet to 2,000,000 from the big blind holding K♥8♥. Atac called.

The flop came 3♣A♠Q♠ and Atac checked his pair of queens, then Zappala bet 850,000. Atac called to see the 6♥ turn, where he checked again. Zappala then used time extra time before he knuckled back.

An 8♦ landed on the river and both checked it down, where Atac took it down with his pair of queens.

Level 30 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Gal Naim made it 500,000 from the button and Roman Isaienko shoved 1,500,000 from the small blind. When it got back to Naim, he seemed hesitant to stick in the extra 1,000,000, but eventually did to put Isaienko at risk.

Roman Isaienko: A♦7♦ All in
Gal Naim: 4♥3♥

Naim flopped a flush draw on 8♥J♣5♥, but couldn't find any of his outs on the 9♠K♠ runout, which earned Isaienko a double-up.

Gal Naim	12,500,000 1,100,000	1,100,000

Naim check-called a bet of 250,000 by Pustina on the A♥4♠6♦ flop.

Level 30 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Calin Ciolte shoved from under the gun for 2,775,000, and the action folded to Jakub Sterba in the small blind, who went into the tank. Sterba started the hand with 2,100,000 and after pondering for a while, made the call to put himself at risk.

Jakub Sterba: A♣10♣ All in
Calin Ciolte: A♠9♣

Sterba had come to the correct decision as his ace-ten had Ciolte's ace-nine dominated.

However, the 5♠9♥4♣ flop catapulted Ciolte into a commanding lead with top pair. Sterba didn't find any help on the 3♦ turn or 6♥ river and he headed to the rail in 19th.

Stanislav Koleno opened to 500,000 from middle position. Daniel Elhaiany called from the hijack, then Karol Konopka in the cutoff jammed for 2,075,000. Koleno went into the tank but folded, while Elhaiany made the call.

Karol Konopka: Q♦Q♠ All in
Daniel Elhaiany: A♥J♥

Elhaiany flopped two pair on 3♥J♣A♠8♦9♥, leaving no chance for Konopka who was eliminated.

Level 30 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Emad Zarghami shoved for 2,375,000 from under the gun and Vlastimil Pustina called on the button.

Emad Zarghami: A♣3♣ All in
Vlastimil Pustina: 8♦8♣

Pustina had just lost a pot and was in danger of dropping further down the counts, but his snowmen were well in the lead against the ace-rag of Zarghami. The runout of 5♠10♥6♥9♣3♠ kept the eights of Pustina in the lead, which meant Zarghami was out in 21st.

The two players checked all the way to the river on the Q♠J♠9♥7♦K♠ runout. Ciolte checked again, then folded when Zappalo bet 575,000.

Level 29 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

From the cutoff, Mike Koch jammed for 1.925,000 and Gal Naim made the call from the button to try and bust him.

Mike Koch: K♥Q♣ All in
Gal Naim: A♥Q♦

Koch was dominated by Naim, and moved even further behind on the A♣A♠K♦ flop as Naim improved to trips. Koch was drawing dead after the 4♦ turn as an irrelevant J♠ completed the board.

Naim was up to 13,000,000, and Koch headed to the exit to collect his 22nd-place payout.
