David Salituro

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Maik Warneke raised to 75,000 in early position and Illia Petrytsia three-bet to 150,000 on the button. Warneke then shoved for 260,000, and Petrytsia quickly called.

Maik Warneke: A♦K♣ All in
Illia Petrytsia: 9♦9♠

Petrytsia spiked a set on the 9♥8♥4♥ flop, and Warneke was already drawing dead after the 2♣ turn. The river was the 7♣ and Petrytsia earned the knockout.

Matthias Kribben: A♣6♦ All in

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Kevin Fluegel opened under the gun only to bet three-bet by Kai Vater from middle position. When it folded back to Fluegel, he shoved for 652,000. Vater called to try to send all the remaining players into the money.

Kevin Fluegel: A♦K♥ All in
Kai Vater: K♦K♣

It was a cooler with Fluegel holding big slick versus the pocket kings of Vater.

Fluegel needed an ace to remain seated, although he didn't find one on the 7♣10♥6♠ flop. A 9♠ turn offered up a few chop outs for Fluegel, but the 5♦ river was no help for him.

Fluegel exited on the stone bubble, as the remaining 194 players were now all in the money.

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

A big pot of around 500,000 was already in the middle as Roland Haddad and Alkividis Stamatis went to the turn on a board of 6♦10♣5♣3♠. Haddad then bet 100,000 from the big blind and Stamatis moved all in from the hijack.

Haddad shot out of his seat after Stamatis announced his shove. "Better than ten?" he asked.

"Who knows," Stamatis replied.

"What do you have, be honest," Haddad added.

"Ace-king of clubs," Stamatis said, and the two spent a few more minutes exchanging some banter.

Haddad asked the floor how much time he had to act as the minutes continued to tick by. He eventually announced a fold and tossed his cards into the muck, while Stamatis returned his cards face down and took in the big pot.

Alkiviadis Stamatis	1,800,000 784,000	784,000

Maxime Taldir

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Jakub Sigmund opened to 40,000 from the hijack. Sebastian Kotowicz in the small blind called while Karel Novotny was already forced all-in from the big blind for his last 20,000.

Sigmund continued for 25,000 on a flop of 10♥J♥3♦ and was called, then both Kotowicz and Sigmund checked the 2♦ turn.

On the 5♣ river, Kotowicz bet 110,000 to make Sigmund fold. Once all tables were done, Wotowicz flipped over Q♥J♦ for top pair. Novotny only had A♣3♠ and was eliminated. One more elimination is now needed to reach the money.

Player	Chips	Progress

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Olivier Desbrueres moved all in for 310,000 on the button and Laurynas Jakutis called in the big blind.

"Good luck, no matter what," Jakutis said as both players stood up and reached across the table to give each other a fist bump.

Olivier Desbrueres: K♦8♣ All in
Laurynas Jakutis: 10♦10♣

Desbrueres was looking for a king to stay alive as the flop came A♣9♥7♣. The 8♠ turn gave him a pair, but he improved no further on the 3♠ river and busted just short of the money.

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Adrian Cazacu raised from early position with only Pascal Pflock calling from middle positon.

Heads-up to the J♣8♦4♥ flop, where both players checked to see the Q♠ fall on the turn. Cazacu bet 20,000, and was met by a raise to roughly 80,000 from Pflock. Cazacu took the most aggressive option by three-betting to 270,000. Pflock continued in the form of a call.

A board-pairing 8♥ appeared on the river and Cazacu checked. Pflock bet 295,000, resulting in a snap-fold from Cazacu.

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Patrik Jaros raised to 40,000 and Bjorn Verbakel then jammed for 386,000. After some consideration, Jaros called to trigger the following showdown.

Bjorn Verbakel: A♥Q♥ All in
Patrik Jaros: 8♥8♣

Verbakel was somewhat stunned to see the cards of Jaros and then immediately relieved when he flopped the goods on K♥5♥3♥. An upset was possible with the K♣ turn but the 7♥ river kept Verbakel in the mix.
