Palevic, Velasco Chop Up Casillas' Big Raise

Level 36 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Jose Gomez Casillas raised to 2,200,000 under the gun before Rifat Palevic reraised to 4,700,000 in the hijack. Juan Velasco quickly stuck in his last 4,625,000 in the cutoff, and Casillas took a few seconds before folding A9.

Juan Velasco: AK All in
Rifat Palevic: AK

Both players showed the same hand and were poised to chop the pot as the flop came AJ3. The 5 turn gave Velasco a draw to a flush, but the 4 came on the river and they split up Casillas' chips.

Big Raises From Casillas and Velasco

Level 36 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Jose Gomez Casillas kept on making big raises and opened to 2,250,000 with 88 from the hijack. Nobody wanted to play, and his stack hit the 23,000,000-chip mark.

Juan Velasco then opened with J9 from the hijack to 1,200,000 and also took down the pot.

Casillas then made it 4,500,000 from the button with 53, and got the blinds to fold.

Ivan Fedor Eliminated in 8th Place (€27,850); Marcin Kacprzak Eliminated in 7th Place (€33,150)

Level 36 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Ivan Fedor
Ivan Fedor

Ivan Fedor moved all in for 2,700,000 on the button before Jose Gomez Casillas reshoved in the small blind. Marcin Kacprzak called for his last 6,650,000 in the big blind.

Ivan Fedor: K9 All in
Marcin Kacprzak: JJ All in
Jose Gomez Casillas: AK

Kacprzak was racing for his tournament life in a massive three-way all in, but he received the bad news when the K106 flop gave Casillas the lead with top pair. The Q turn gave Kacprzak outs to a straight, but he missed the 8 river as both he and Fedor were sent to the rail, Fedor taking eighth and Kacprzak seventh as the bigger stack.

Manig Loeser Eliminated in 9th Place (€23,950)

Manig Loeser

Manig Loeser shoved from early position for 3,300,000 and Jose Gomez Casillas called in middle position.

Manig Loeser: 22 All in
Jose Gomez Casillas: 1010

Loeser didn't know it, but both of the other deuces were mucked, which meant he was drawing extremely thin. A runout of J4JQ9 didn't give any miracles, and Loeser was out in ninth.

Villiel Kordonskiy Eliminated in 10th Place (€20,950)

Level 35 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Villiel Kordonskiy
Villiel Kordonskiy

Villiel Kordonskiy raised to 2,000,000 from under the gun and shoved 4,500,000 from the cutoff. When it got back to Kordonskiy, he called off the 350,000 he had behind.

Villiel Kordonskiy: AQ All in
Lulei Hu: 99

Kordonskiy needed to win the flip to stay alive, and Hu was looking to burst the final table bubble. The flop of 8K4 kept the nines of Hu in the lead, but the 2 turn gave Kordonskiy a flush draw. Nothing changed on the 4 river, and Kordonskiy was out in 10th.
