Level 33 : 100,000/200,000, 25,000 ante

Hand #65: Ilkin Amirov made it 400,000 with {K-Hearts}{9-Hearts} under the gun and Hossein Ensan pushed all in with {A-Clubs}{Q-Spades} from the big blind. Amirov folded almost immediately.

Hand #68: Hossein Ensan made it 400,000 with {10-Clubs}{8-Clubs} under the gun. Thomas Butzhammer with {A-Spades}{9-Spades} pushed for just under 5 million and Ensan folded.

Hand #69: Thomas Butzhammer found {J-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} on the button and made it 400,000. Hossein Ensan in the big blind called with {7-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}. The flop came {2-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{6-Clubs} and Ensan bet out 500,000 into the million pot. Butzhammer folded.

Hand #70: {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds} on the button for Gleb Tremzin and he raised to 400,000. Hossein Ensan in the small blind found {A-Spades}{Q-Clubs} and called. Amirov folded his big blind. The flop came {5-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{9-Spades} and Ensan and Tremzin both checked.

The {6-Clubs} on the turn saw Ensan bet out 400,000 and Tremzin called.

The {2-Diamonds} completed the board and Ensan had already checked blind. Tremzin checked behind and took down the 1.9 million pot.

No Deal

A 4-way deal was almost agreed upon, but in the end the negotiations proved fruitless when Thomas Butzhammer and Gleb Tremzin couldn't agree on the numbers, ultimately talking about €5,000. Tremzin wasn't ready to give that up, and the four of them decided to play on.

Hands 53-58: No Value for Tremzin with a Set

Level 32 : 80,000/160,000, 25,000 ante

Hand #53: Ilkin Amirov made it 325,000 with {K-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} under the gun and he took down the blinds and antes.

"Sometimes I also have to win. There's four players, let me win at least 10% of the hands." Amirov said with a smile.

Hand #54: Gleb Tremzin made it 380,000 from the button with {A-Clubs}{4-Hearts} and he took down the blinds and antes.

Hand #55: Hossein Ensan on the button raised it up and he took down the blinds and antes.His hand did not show up on screen.

Hand #56: Hossein Ensan took down another pot by raising it pre flop, but once again we don't know what he had. Ensan then tried to see if the rest was interested in a deal, but Butzhammer immediately told them he wanted more than ICM.

Hand #57: Butzhammer on the button made it 325,000 with {A-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}. Gleb Tremzin woke up with {A-Clubs}{10-Spades} in the small blind and three-bet to 720,000. Both big blind Ensan and button Butzhammer folded right away.

Hand #58: Butzhammer with {A-Spades}{Q-Clubs} under the gun made it 325,000. Gleb Tremzin called on the button with {5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} and Hossein Ensan with {A-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} in the small blind came along as well. Amirov folded his big blind.

The flop came {9-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{5-Hearts} giving Tremzin a set. Action checked to him and he bet 375,000 into the 1,235,000 pot. Ensan folded and so did Butzhammer.

Hand #51: Gleb Tremzin raised under the gun with {J-Hearts}{10-Spades} and Hossein Ensan three-bet from his left to 635,000 with {Q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}. The flop came down {J-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} and Tremzin check-called 450,000.

The turn brought out {A-Clubs} and both players checked. The river was the {A-Diamonds} and Tremzin checked again. Ensan bet out a hefty 2,000,000, just shy of a pot-sized bet, and Tremzin went into the tank. Tremzin eventually called it off, and Ensan raked in a massive pot. The German three-time EPT finalist now sits on 9.5 million chips, while Tremzin dropped to 4.7 million.

Hand #52: Ilkin Amirov raised to 325,000 under the gun and Thomas Butzhammer looked down at {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts} on the button. Butzhammer three-bet to 860,000 and Gleb Tremzin moved all in for 4.7 million. Amirov folded and Butzhammer made the call.

The board ran out {2-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{7-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{A-Hearts} and Tremzin hit an ace on the river to stay alive and double up to 9.8 million, he is now our chip leader.

Sleven Popov Eliminated in 5th Place (€226,330)

Level 32 : 80,000/160,000, 25,000 ante
Slaven Popov
Slaven Popov

Hand #48: Action folded to Gleb Tremzin in the small blind and he raised to 395,000 with {J-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}. Hossein Ensan, apparently not afraid, moved in with {Q-Clubs}{8-Hearts}. Tremzin instantly folded.

Hand #49: Thomas Butzhammer picked up the blinds and antes when he made it 350,000 from the cutoff with {6-Spades}{6-Hearts}.

Hand #50: Hossein Ensan raised to 325,000 with {A-Diamonds}{J-Hearts} from the button. Ilkin Amirov in the small blind folded but short stacked Slaven Popov in the big blind had bigger plans. He pushed all in for 2,275,000 with {A-Clubs}{2-Spades} and Hossein Ensan instantly called.

The flop came {9-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{8-Hearts} doing not much for anyone, besides giving Popov some runner runner outs on top of the deuces he could hit. The {K-Hearts} on the turn took away that hope and the {J-Clubs} on the river made it definite.

Slaven Popov eliminated in 5th place, netting him €226,330. The remaning four players are guaranteed €294,180 from here on out.
