Tim Baker

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Frederic Delval jammed under the gun for 790,000 and Rifat Palevic quickly called from the hijack. Once the rest of the table folded, the players went to a showdown.

Frederic Delval: A♦J♥ All in
Rifat Palevic: A♠A♣

Palevic had eliminated a player in the previous hand and was now in the prime position to send Delval to the rail, as he held the preflop nuts.

Delval picked up some outs on the J♦8♠6♠ flop by pairing his jack. However, the remainder of the board came K♠4♣ keeping Palevic's aces ahead. Delval headed home in fifth, but not before wishing the rest of the players good luck.

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Rifat Palevic raised to 160,000 in the cutoff before Alessandro Pichierri moved all in for 1,035,000 in the small blind. Tobias Peters asked for a count but eventually gave up his big blind, while Palevic snap-called as soon as action got back to him.

Alessandro Pichierri: A♥J♥ All in
Rifat Palevic: K♦Q♣

The flop came K♣7♣3♠ and Pichierri pushed over his stack and shot out of his seat at the sight of the king. He was already walking away from the table by the time the J♦ came on the turn, followed by the 5♠ river that sealed his elimination in sixth place.

The dealer left the table after this hand, and Palevic flashed her a heart as he raked in the pot.

Tobias Peters came in with a raise to 160,000 from the cutoff before Frederic Delval three-bet the small blind to 455,000. Peters called.

The dealer spread out the A♥7♦2♠ flop and Delval bet 250,000. Once again, Peters called.

A Q♠ hit the turn and Delval did some inventory of his stack, which amounted to 570,000, then opted to check. Peters bet 225,000 and Delval folded while showing K♣K♠ for a pair of kings.

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Alessandro Pichierri raised to 120,000 on the button before Tobias Peters three-bet to 410,000 in the small blind. Pichierri called and they saw a flop of 8♥8♠6♠.

Peters then bet 375,000 and Pichierri moved all in. Peters snap-called for 1,760,000.

Tobias Peters: K♥K♣ All in
Alessandro Pichierri: J♣J♠

Pichierri had run his jacks into Peters' kings, and the 5♣ turn and 7♥ river kept Peters in the lead and earned him the massive double up. The dealer then went to work counting out Peters' stack.

"You're ruining my perfect architecture," Peters joked as his perfectly aligned stacks were chopped up. He then raked in the pile of chips and went to work on rebuilding.

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Elias Vaaraniemi came in with a raise to 120,000 from the hijack and Alessandro Pichierri defended his big blind.

Both players checked the 4♠2♥5♠ flop to see the K♠ roll off on the turn. Pichierri tossed out a bet of 225,000 and Vaaraniemi came along with a call.

A 10♥ completed the board, and Pichierri fired out 550,000 into the middle. Vaaraniemi mulled it over briefly, then returned his cards to the dealer, allowing the pot to be sent to Pichierri.

Alessandro Pichierri raised to 120,000 under the gun before Andreas Goeller moved all in for 865,000 in the cutoff. Pichierri used a few time banks, but eventually called to put Goeller at risk.

Andreas Goeller: 6♠6♥ All in
Alessandro Pichierri: A♥J♣

Goeller needed his pair to hold on to survive, but Pichierri took the lead on the K♣J♠5♠ flop with a pair of jacks. The rest of the board ran out 9♦2♥ and Goeller was eliminated in seventh place.

"Now we're at the final table," Frederic Delval said.

"Another picture?" the tournament official joked.

"I don't have another cigar," Delval added.

Alessandro Pichierri made it 120,000 from the hijack, and Andreas Goeller called from the big blind.

On the A♦K♣J♣ flop, Goeller check-folded after Pichierri made a continuation-bet of 110,000.

On the next hand, Felix Seelentag came in with a raise to 120,000 from middle position and Frederic Delval defended his big blind.

Upon seeing the 3♣2♥9♥ flop, Delval went into the tank. After using a time bank, he jammed for about 1,000,000 and Seelentag instantly folded.

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Alessandro Pichierri moved all in from the small blind and Grzegorz Flak called for 600,000 in the big blind.

Grzegorz Flak: Q♠J♥ All in
Alessandro Pichierri: 10♦8♠

Pichierri took the lead on the A♣8♣4♣ flop with a pair of eights, but Flak hit the Q♥ on the turn and was poised for a double up going to the river, which was the 10♣ to give Pichierri two pair and send Flak to the rail in eighth place.

The remaining seven players are drawing for seats at the final table.
