Livello 27 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

The chip leader so far Jan Turjak opened to 125,000 from the cutoff. Then Illia Matus three-bet all in for 870,000. Turk asked for the count, and eventually called.

Illia Matus: 8♠8♦
Jan Turjak: Q♣Q♦

"Yes!" said Turjak while raising his hands in the air when he won on 2♠2♣6♠10♠6♣, eliminating Matus.

Livello 26 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Roman Chochola moved all in for 500,000 from the hijack and was up against Istvan Toth under the gun.

Roman Chochola: A♣Q♥
Istvan Toth: A♥K♦

The 3♦3♥8♣ flop left open the possibility of a chop, but Toth's king-kicker continued to play following the 7♥ turn and 3♣ river to bust Chochola from the tournament.

Fausto Tantillo and Rafi Elharar were also recently eliminated.

Livello 26 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Alain Saka was all in for 670,000 from the small blind and was at risk to Henning Wendlandt, who was in the big blind.

Alain Saka: A♥K♥
Henning Wendlandt: A♦Q♠

It was a blind versus blind cooler and Saka had the best of it until the Q♥10♠6♥ flop.

Saka then pleaded for his tournament life and found no help on the 7♠ turn. However, the J♠ river gave him the checkmark with Broadway and he was mightily relieved to still be in contention for the €200,000 first place prize.

Bussmann Doesn't Want to Look as Becker Busts Ott

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Livello 26 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Stefan Ott moved all in for 320,000 under the gun, Marvin Becker reshoved for 810,000 next to act, and the table folded around to small blind Daniel Bussmann.

Bussmann tanked for a minute but ultimately gave up his hand, leaving Ott and Becker heads-up.

Stefan Ott: 10♣10♠
Marvin Becker: J♣J♦

Bussmann walked away from the table before the cards were exposed. The 10♥ came in the window and Ott hit a set, but it was followed by J♠9♦ as Becker made top set.

The board ran out 2♠4♥ and Ott was sent to the rail. Only then did Bussmann returned to the table.

"Didn't want to see the flop," a tablemate asked him.

"No. I don't want to know what they had," Bussmann replied.

Zeljko Maric opened to 90,000 from under the gun and was called by Ioannis Temekonidis from the hijack. Ermanno Di Nicola three-bet to 290,000 from the cutoff and both players called.

Di Nicola continued for another 380,000 on the 10♦9♥4♣ flop. Maric and Temekonidis quickly folded.

Livello 26 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Fausto Tantillo shoved for 210,000 from the cutoff, and he was called by Cristian David in the blinds.

Fausto Tantillo: K♦5♥
Cristian David: K♥7♥

After the flop 8♦6♥J♦ and the turn 9♦, Tantillo was on the edge on elimination. But the A♥ came on the river to confirm a chop.

Refos Reshoves, Zullo Gets Away

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Livello 26 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Iurii Kondrat moved all in for 160,000 in early position and Michele Zullo then raised to 550,000 in middle position.

Action folded to Raoul Refos in the cutoff who reshoved for 995,000. The blinds got out of the way, but Zullo tanked for several minutes before mucking.

Iurii Kondrat: A♥Q♣
Raoul Refos: A♠K♠

The flop was a disaster for Kondrat as the dealer turned over 4♠3♠2♠, giving Refos the nut flush. The board ran out 3♥K♥ and Refos sent Kondrat to the rail.

Zullo admitted he also had ace-queen and began playfully punching himself for raising instead of just calling.

Giocatore	Chip	Avanzamento
Raoul Refos	1,500,000 485,000	485,000

Turjak Takes One From Wheeler

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Livello 26 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Jason Wheeler was in middle position when he raised to 80,000. He was called by Jan Turja in the hijack, and by Raoul Refos in the big blind.

The dealer fanned a flop of 10♣3♦3♥, and Wheeler continued with a bet of 95,000. Turk called, but Refos check-folded.

On the turn 9♣, Wheeler eventually checked, so Turjak took this opportunity to bet 205,000. Wheeler knuckled the table and fold.

Jan Turjak	2,750,000 1,900,000	1,900,000
