David Jaoui Eliminated in 20th Place (€9,600)

David Jaoui - 20th Place
David Jaoui - 20th Place
First into the pot, David Jaoui moved all in for 101,000, and Waldemar Kopyl quickly called in the next seat over. After a lengthy delay to bring the cameras to the table, the cards were turned up:

Showdown
Jaoui: {A-Spades} {7-Clubs}
Kopyl: {K-Clubs} {K-Hearts}

There would be no salvation for the all-in Jaoui as the dealer ran a board of {Q-Spades} {3-Clubs} {9-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds}. Failing to improve, David Jaoui becomes our 20th-place finisher, taking home just shy of €10,000 for his three-day effort.

Meyburg and Gorodetskiy Tangle Again

Just a couple hands after those Meyburg encounters, Iliya Gorodetskiy open-shoved all in for 121,000, and Meyburg called all in to once again put himself at risk. He turned over {A-Hearts} {J-Hearts}, racing for his tournament life versus his opponent's {5-Clubs} {5-Spades}.

The flop would find Meybrug as it came {J-Clubs} {4-Clubs} {K-Diamonds}, and the {Q-Diamonds} and {2-Hearts} that filled out the board would secure his double up. He's back in business with about 225,000, and now it's Gorodetskiy who is dangerously low, sitting with just about 15,000 now.

Meyburg Crippled but Stays Afloat

Michael Meyburg was crippled in a confrontation with Volodymyr Zakharov's pocket queens. Meyburg held {K-Spades} {10-Spades} and was unable to improve, dropping him down to just about 40,000.

On the following hand, Iliya Gorodetskiy opened with a raise to 20,000 from early position, and Torsten Trent made the call with the big stack. The action folded around to short stack Meyburg, and he moved all in for 37,000. Gorodetskiy wanted to know if he was allowed to re-raise, and he did just that, moving all in himself. Trent ducked out of the way, and it was heads up for Meyburg's tournament life.

Showdown
Gorodetskiy: {A-Clubs} {8-Spades}
Meyburg: {A-Diamonds} {10-Hearts}

The board would run out favorable for Meyburg, coming {3-Spades} {7-Diamonds} {K-Spades} {K-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs} to hold his kicker and nearly triple him up.

Vaserfirer {8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}
Plichta {K-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}

The board went {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{2-Spades}, and Vaserfirer is out in 21st place. Plichta now has about 375,000.

The Downs and Ups for Meyburg

Volodymyr Zakharov raised to 21,000 from under the gun, Torsten Tent called from middle position, and Michael Meyburg called from the big blind as well.

The flop came {9-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{8-Diamonds}, and all three checked. The turn was the {K-Clubs}, and once again, the trio all checked.

The river brought the {8-Spades}, pairing the board. This time Meyburg fired a bet of 40,000. Zakharov took about a minute to consider the situation, then folded. Then Tent went into the tank for a bit. Finally he leaned forward to inspect the size of Meyburg's bet more closely. When he realized it was only 40,000 (he perhaps thought it had been for more), he made the call.

Meyburg showed {A-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} for the bluff, and Tent {K-Hearts}{J-Hearts} to take the pot. Tent was at 945,000 after that one, while Meyburg slipped to 74,000.

Meyburg was all in from the button on the next hand with {A-Spades}{J-Spades} and was called by Zakharov in the big blind who tabled {K-Spades}{J-Clubs}. The board came {5-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{3-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}, and Meyburg survives with about 160,000. Zakharov has about 185,000.

Grigory Zima Eliminated in 22nd Place (€9,600)

Grigory Zima - 22nd Place
Grigory Zima - 22nd Place
Gregory Zima moved all in for his last 83,000 chips, and Ad Schaap immediately began couting out calling chips. Shooting several glances toward the players still left to act, Schaap eventually called and the rest of the table ducked out of the way.

Showdown
Zima: {7-Clubs} {8-Spades}
Schaap: {A-Spades} {J-Clubs}

Both players would pair up on a flop that came {7-Spades} {A-Clubs} {2-Hearts}, keeping Schaap in the lead and Zima in immediate danger. The turn {5-Spades} was a blank, as was the {6-Diamonds} that hit the river, much to the dismay of the at-risk player. Finding no further help on board, Grigory Zima has been shown the exit in 22nd place.
