Wiese Gets Some Back

Two hands after his crippling, Wiese got some back. He shoved in from the hijack when the table folded to him, and Guillem Usero called the 180,000-chip shove from the big blind. Wiese was working with {J-Clubs} {10-Diamonds}, while Usero's {A-Spades} {3-Diamonds} was a small favorite to earn the knockout.

The board ran out {10-Hearts} {6-Diamonds} {5-Clubs} {9-Spades} {9-Hearts}, and Wiese is sticking around for a bit longer. He's back to 425,000, and another double would put him right back in the game.

Wiese Drops Two Straight

Martin Finger raised to 125,000 from the button, and Andreas Wiese reraised to 265,000. When the decision reuturned to Finger, he shoved all in, and Wiese uncapped his cards and slid them back into the muck.

On the next hand, Guillem Usero raised to 125,000 under the gun, and Wiese shoved all in from the button. It was 1.3 million on the nose, but Usero was the one contemplating the decision for all of his own chips. He had 1.11 million left, and he called them off to flip for the double-up.

Showdown
Usero: {A-Spades} {Q-Clubs}
Wiese: {10-Spades} {10-Hearts}

Usero flopped lucky on the {3-Spades} {K-Spades} {A-Diamonds}, but the {Q-Diamonds} turn added another four outs for Wiese to try and chase down the knockout. He needed a ten or a jack, but the river {7-Spades} was no help.

Usero has found his double, and it takes his stack up into the middle of the pack. For Wiese, it's a crippling blow, and he's going to have to try and mount a comeback from just 190,000.

Levi Slides a Bit Further

Nicolas Levi raised to 125,000 from the cutoff seat, and Martin Finger called from the button to go heads up the rest of the way.

The {2-Clubs} {9-Spades} {9-Hearts} flop went check-check, and Levi checked again on the {J-Clubs} turn. Finger bet 150,000, Levi called, and the {K-Clubs} filled out the board. When Levi checked a third time, Finger made another bet of 325,000 to win the pot right there.

Mads Wissing Eliminated in 8th Place (€66,700)

When the table folded around to him in late position, Mads Wissing shoved his short stack into the middle. As it turned out, he had {4-Diamonds} {7-Spades}, and that became a problem when Guillem Usero called him down with {8-Hearts} {8-Diamonds}.

There was no miracle salvation from the dealer, and the {A-Hearts} {K-Spades} {Q-Spades} {7-Clubs} {6-Hearts} board is the last of Wissing's day. He's been sent off as the first casualty of the final table, and he'll take home a consolation prize worth €66,700.

For Usero's part, that knockout moves him right back to where he began the day with 1.4 million.

Levi Crippled; Boyaciyan Takes the Lead

David Boyaciyan raised to 140,000 to open the pot, and Nicolas Levi came along with the call in position. They were heads up, and the dealer put out a {K-Clubs} {7-Spades} {10-Clubs} flop. Boyaciyan continued out with another 160,000, and Levi wanted to play for more. He bumped it up to 375,000, but Boyaciyan jammed it right back with another raise to 860,000 total. The shove came from the Frenchman, and he was instantly called to put a monstrous pot up for grabs.

Showdown
Boyaciyan: {K-Diamonds} {K-Spades}
Levi: {7-Hearts} {10-Hearts}

Despite flopping two pair, Levi was practically drawing dead. Once the {8-Spades} turned it became official, and the {9-Spades} river was meaningless.

Boyaciyan's shove had been for 3.765 million total, so the double skyrockets him to the top with 7.65 million! Levi has right around 2 million left.

Six For Finger

Under the gun, Martin Finger opened with a minimum raise to 100,000, and the action folded around to the blinds. Whatever his intent was, Usero put out 140,000 chips, and the dealer made him add the extra 10,000 to make it a legal reraise. Finger called, and it was heads up to the flop.

The dealer spread {A-Clubs} {J-Diamonds} {2-Hearts}, and Usero continued out with another 155,000. Finger called rather quickly. On fourth street, the {6-Hearts} drew a check from Usero, and Figer fired 255,000 into the pot. Usero let out a little frown, and the table bully pushed him out of the pot.

It looks like Finger has crossed over the 6-million-chip mark.
