Benjamin Michel Barkay Eliminated in 16th Place (€5,350)

Level 25 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante
Benjamin Michel Barkay
Benjamin Michel Barkay

Benjamin Michel Barkay jammed from the hijack for 10 big blinds. Last year's Main Event winner Luigi Andrea Shehadeh over-jammed with {a-Spades}{k-Clubs} for about twice as much.

Barkay was behind but he got a dream of a flop with the {q-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} appearing on the board to give him two pair. However, the {7-Clubs} paired the board on the river and the {k-Spades} gave Shehadeh a better two pair.

The Israeli didn't walk away empty-handed as he headed to the cashier to collect the 16th place prize of €5,350. All remaining players are now guaranteed a payout of at least €6,200.

Alexey Golodyaev was eliminated on the feature table about 30 minutes ago in 17th place for €5,350. We are unsure of the hand as there were technical difficulties with the stream while it was taking place.

There are now two tables of eight players each left in the field.

Gonzalez Doubles With Eights

Level 23 : 15,000/30,000, 3,000 ante

Leonardo Berti opened for 55,000 from late position and Marc Gonzalez called from the big blind. Benjamin Michel Barkay three-bet to 180,000 from the big blind. Berti folded and Gonzalez asked for extra time to think.

Gonzalez eventually went all-in for around 400,000 and Barkay called.

Benjamin Michel Barkay: {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}
Marc Gonzalez: {8-Hearts}{8-Clubs}

Gonzalez celebrated a double-up after his eights held strong with the board running out {4-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{j-Spades}{4-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}.

Courtney Gee Eliminated in 18th Place (€5,350)

Level 23 : 15,000/30,000, 3,000 ante
Courtney Gee
Courtney Gee

At almost the exact same time that McMillin was eliminated, Gee hit the door in 19th place for €4,750. Her stack was decimated a few hands earlier when she doubled up a short stack with {a-}{10-} against {a-}{a-}.

Gee jammed her remaining 10 big blinds with {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} from the button and was called by Oscar Casado Diaz in the big blind with {A-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}.

Gee began packing her things when an ace was in the window on the {10-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{a-Clubs} flop. The {5-Hearts} on the turn and {8-Clubs} on the river were unable to help Gee get back into the hand and she was eliminated in 18th place for €5,350.

There is no table redraw for two tables. Instead, table 52 was broken up with some players heading to the feature table and others heading over to the loan remaining side table.

All remaining players are now guaranteed a payout of at least €5,350.
