Stuer vs Hajiyev

Level 17 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Julian Stuer raised to 80,000 for two hands in a row. In the first hand he claimed the blinds and antes. In the second hand however, Ramin Hajiyev called in the small blind. On the {A-Clubs}{J-Spades}{6-Clubs} flop, Hajiyev checked and Stuer checked. After the {5-Diamonds} turn, Hajiyev check-called a bet worth 130,000 before check-folding the {7-Clubs} river to a second bet of 350,000 by Stuer.

Steve O'Dwyer Eliminated in 6th Place (€124,050)

Level 17 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Steve O'Dwyer
Steve O'Dwyer

The action started with a raise to 90,000 by Ramin Hajiyev. Steve O'Dwyer then three-bet to 270,000 from the small blind with another 1,140,000 behind. Hajiyev had him covered and four-bet to 590,000.

O'Dwyer took another minute before moving all in and Hajiyev called to create a pot of almost three million chips.

Steve O'Dwyer: {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}
Ramin Hajiyev: {A-Spades}{K-Clubs}

The flop of {Q-Clubs}{8-Spades}{5-Spades} changed nothing yet. Hajiyev kept staring at the board while the {4-Hearts} hit the turn. As soon as he spotted the {A-Clubs} on the river, he jumped up in celebration and so did his rail.

O'Dwyer was eliminated in sixth place for €124,050. The remaining five players went on a short toilet break.

Pablo Fernandez Eliminated in 7th Place (€97,600)

Level 17 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Pablo Fernandez
Pablo Fernandez

Action folded to Pablo Fernandez on the button and he moved his stack of 470,000 to the middle. Small blind Isaac Haxton asked for a count and then called. Julian Stuer folded his big blind.

Pablo Fernandez: {Q-Spades}{8-Spades}
Isaac Haxton: {K-Spades}{10-Clubs}

The {10-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{3-Spades}-flop gave Haxton a pair but Fernandez picked up a flush draw.

Both the {4-Clubs} on the turn and {A-Clubs} on the river were black cards but not the ones Fernandez was looking for.

Down to six players now, guaranteed €124,050.

Paul Newey Eliminated in 8th Place (€76,260)

Level 17 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Paul Newey
Paul Newey

Julian Stuer raised to 80,000 from under the gun and the action reached Paul Newey on the button. He glanced over at his opponent and the players behind him, then moved all in. The blinds folded and Stuer asked for a count, then called when the shove was deemed to be for 390,000.

Paul Newey: {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}
Julian Stuer: {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}

The flop of {A-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} improved Newey, but he was drawing dead on the {9-Clubs} turn. This made the {10-Hearts} river meaningless and Newey headed to the rail in order to collect €76,260 for his eighth place finish.

The board ran out {K-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{5-Clubs}{A-Clubs}{9-Clubs} and the kicker played in favor of the Spaniard.

Charlie Carrel

After finishing runner-up in the €50,000 Super High Roller for €535,250 yesterday, the road now ended in ninth place for Charlie Carrel. The Brit cashed for the eighth tournament in a row, with just one of them not being a final table. Here's what happened.

From first position, Ramin Hajiyev opened for 70,000. Julian Stuer called in the hijack before Charlie Carrel squeezed all in for 205,000 from the small blind. The big blind folded and Hajiyev asked for a count. He thought about it for a bit before he raised to 340,000. Stuer folded.

Charlie Carrel: {6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}
Ramin Hajiyev: {A-Hearts}{A-Spades}

The board ran out {4-Spades}{3-Hearts}{8-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{A-Clubs} and all Carrel said was "See you guys!"
