Level 22 : 60,000/120,000, 20,000 ante

Buddiga check-called 350,000 on the {4-Hearts} turn before they both checked the {3-Hearts} on the river. Buddiga tabled {7-Clubs}{9-Clubs} and Yan mucked.

Steve O'Dwyer Eliminated in 5th Place (€278,900)

Level 22 : 60,000/120,000, 20,000 ante
Steve O'Dwyer

Pratyush Buddiga shoved three times in a row, and the third hand would result in a showdown. First, Buddiga jammed from under the gun and won the big blind and antes. Then, Andrey Shatilov raised to 250,000 from the button and Buddiga jammed the big blind to force a fold.

One hand later, he open-shoved the small blind and Steve O'Dwyer had a decision in the big blind. He asked Tobias Reinkemeier for the stack size, which was slightly bigger than his own, and then eventually called off.

O'Dwyer: {10-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}
Buddiga: {K-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}

The {K-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{5-Clubs} flop gave Buddiga top pair and O'Dwyer joked "Can I take it back?"

There was some hope on the {A-Spades} turn, providing a gutshot, but the {10-Hearts} river failed to improve him enough to avoid elimination.

O'Dwyer joined the rail in 5th place, taking home €278,900.

Alex Komaromi Eliminated in 6th Place (€216,250)

Level 22 : 60,000/120,000, 20,000 ante
Alex Komaromi
Alex Komaromi

Action folded to Andrey Shatilov in the small blind and he confidently shoved forward a big stack of 100,000-chips to put his neighbor Alex Komaromi all in.

Komaromi glanced over to his neighbor Reinkemeier's stack, eyed O'Dwyer's stack, and then called the all in for about a million.

Andrey Shatilov: {2-Spades}{2-Hearts}
Alex Komaromi: {A-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}

The flop came {Q-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{3-Hearts} doing nothing for either player. The {Q-Clubs} gave Komaromi a slate of outs to counterfeit the deuces, but the {6-Diamonds} on the river wasn't one of the cards he was looking for.

As a result, Komaromi was eliminated in 6th place for €216,250. The remaining 5 players are now guaranteed €278,900.

Hand 1

David "MissOracle" Yan raised to 200,000 from the button and Andrey Shatilov called in the small blind. The flop came {K-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{4-Hearts} and Shatilov checked, Yan bet 220,000 and Shatilov folded.

Hand 2

Steve O'Dwyer glanced over to the stack of Tobias Reinkemeier in the big blind and then moved all in, he claimed the blinds and antes.

Hand 3

Then, Yan raised to 200,000 from the hijack and Alex Komaromi three-bet to 525,000 on the button. "1.6 in total?" Yan asked and Komaromi nodded. The New Zealander then moved all in and Komaromi quickly folded.

Reinkemeier shoved the next two hands and won the blinds and antes.

Parker Talbot Eliminated in 7th Place (€160,080)

Level 21 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante
Parker Talbot
Parker Talbot

After Alex Komaromi got through with two shoes, it was on Parker Talbot to get his stack in from the cutoff. [Removed:17] on the button glanced over and the shove was for just over 1.4 million.

Yan then looked at Andrey Shatilov in the small blind and Komaromi in the big blind before also announcing all in to isolate successfully.

Talbot: {10-Hearts}{10-Spades}
Yan: {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades}

The {5-Hearts}{3-Spades}{3-Diamonds} flop kept Talbot in the lead, but Yan paired up on the {A-Hearts} turn. A blank {9-Spades} river changed nothing and Talbot took his belongings. "Oh, I get money now?" he joked when approaching the tournament director. For his efforts, Talbot takes home €160,080.

O'Dwyer Doubles Talbot

Level 21 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante

Action folded to Parker Talbot in the small blind and he pushed all in for 700,000 total. Big blind Steve O'Dwyer made the instant call, but would soon find out he was trailing.

Steve O'Dwyer: {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}
Parker Talbot: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}

"I'll probably still lose anyway" Talbot mumbled, but his words wouldn't be a forecast of what was to come.

The board ran out {5-Hearts}{7-Spades}{6-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{5-Clubs} and Talbot was already guaranteed the double up on the turn. O'Dwyer and Talbot now with similar stacks.

Sergey Lebedev Eliminated in 8th Place (€117,640)

Level 21 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante
Sergey Lebedev
Sergey Lebedev

Andrey Shatilov raised to 250,000 from early position and the action folded around to Sergey Lebedev in the big blind. He announced all in for 475,000 and Shatilov quickly called. The Russian rail asked what was going on and Lebedev leaned over and said "chop it up."

Lebedev: {A-Clubs}{5-Spades}
Shatilov: {A-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}

Both aces had weak kickers, but the {9-Spades}{7-Clubs}{4-Hearts} vaulted Shatilov in the lead. The {3-Clubs} on the turn now gave Lebedev a redraw with the gutshot, but the {Q-Diamonds} river blanked and sent him to the rail in 8th place.
