Mathias Siljander Eliminated in 15th Place (€63,550)

Livello 28 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Owen Dodd raised to 160,000 in the hijack before Lorenzo Arduini three-bet to 475,000 in the cutoff. Mathias Siljander then moved all in for around 1,900,000 and Dodd quickly folded, while Arduini peeked back at his cards before joining Dodd in the muck.

The next hand, Siljander opened to 160,000 on the button and David Kaufmann called in the small blind.

The flop came A♣9♥10♥ and Siljander bet another 160,000. Kaufmann called and the 2♠ fell on the turn.

Siljander then bet 500,000 and Kaufmann called. The river was the 9♦ and Kaufmann checked over to Siljander for a third time.

Siljander then moved all in for around 1,700,000 and Kaufmann snap-called. Kaufmann turned over A♥9♠ for a full house and Siljander quickly mucked J♦8♦ for a missed straight draw as he headed off to the rail.

With that pot, Kaufmann moved above 10,000,000.

Gonzalo Almeida had A♣Q♣ and raised to 160,000 from under the gun and saw Sindre Hansen defend from the big blind with 7♠3♠.

Hansen check-called for 80,000 on K♠5♦3♣ flop and then check-jammed as the bigger stack after Almeida bet 160,000 on the J♠ turn. Almeida quickly folded and Hansen picked up the pot.

Fireworks Flop Sees Arduini Double

Livello 28 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Hans Erlandsson raised to 175,000 from the hijack and Lorenzo Arduini made the call on the button. The blinds got out of the way and a flop of 9♣5♥6♥ was dealt.

Erlandsson continued for 210,000, which Arduini raised to 560,000. Erlandsson then quickly shoved all in, covering Arduini's stack of 2,160,000.

Arduini immediately called and the cards were tabled.

Lorenzo Arduini: K♥K♣
Hans Erlandsson: Q♦9♦

The 10♥ turn saw Erlandsson's outs reduced further as Arduini's overpair turned a flush draw. The 2♣ river did not upgrade Erlandsson's top pair either and he was forced to surrender the majority of his stack to Arduini.

Lorenzo Arduini	4,870,000 2,570,000	2,570,000

Livello 27 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

David Tous raised to 125,000 under the gun and Lorenzo Arduini called in the big blind.

Both players checked the J♥5♣5♠ flop and Arduini also checked the 8♥ turn. Tous then bet 150,000 and Arduini called.

The A♠ river was quickly checked around and Arduini turned over A♣4♣ for a rivered two pair. Tous flung his 9♥9♠ into the muck as Arduini took the pot.

Livello 27 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

David Tous raised to 125,00 from the hijack and was called by Mathias Siljander in the cutoff. Aleksejs Ponakovs then jammed his final 345,000 chips in the middle from the small blind and Hans Erlandsson called from the big blind.

Tous rejammed for 1,725,000 chips and that forced a heads up showdown as both Siljander and Erlandsson got out of the way.

Aleksejs Ponakovs: K♥Q♠
David Tous: 8♥8♣

Ponakovs paired up on the 2♣Q♥2♠ flop, and no eights appeared on the 4♠J♥ runout, seeing him end up with almost four times as many chips than he started with

Gonzalo Almeida: 10♠10♦

Livello 27 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Action folded to David Kaufmann who limped in from the small blind. Aleksejs Ponakovs then raised to 210,000 and Kaufmann came back with a reraise to 650,000.

Ponakovs used three time banks before announcing a reraise to 1,090,000. Kaufmann then moved all in for 3,855,000 and Ponakovs called.

David Kaufmann: J♥J♠
Aleksejs Ponakovs: A♦K♣

The two players were racing with nearly 8,000,000 at stake as the 10♣7♠10♦ flop kept Kaufmann in the lead. The 4♣ turn was safe for Kaufmann, while he secured the double up on the 7♣ river to rocket near the top of the chip counts. Ponakovs, meanwhile, was left on an extreme short stack.
