Davidi Kitai Eliminated in 3rd Place (€55,290)

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Davidi Kitai

With 115,000 already in the pot, Akin Tuna bet 70,000 from the small blind on {9-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} and Davidi Kitai called from the big. On the {j-Diamonds} river, Tuna slid in 225,000.

"Seems like your lucky river, eh?" Kitai asked with a smile.

The Belgian bracelet winner used a time extension then dropped in some chips to call. Tuna flipped over {10-Clubs}{9-Spades} for a straight and Kitai mucked, saying he had queen-nine.

Left with just 96,000, Kitai shoved over a button open the next hand and Tuna called with {a-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}. Kitai had {3-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}. The flop was as bad as possible for him without actually beating him: {8-Spades}{j-Clubs}{10-Clubs}, giving Tuna a ton of outs. The {a-Hearts} turn had Kitai standing to exit and the {10-Diamonds} confirmed his elimination.

Dimov Doubles Through Tuna

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Ognyan Dimov defended big blind from a button raise by Akin Tuna and checked a {3-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{8-Clubs} flop. Tuna bet 35,000 and Dimov made it 85,000. Tuna shoved all in for 301,000 effective and Dimov flicked in a chip to call.

Ognyan Dimov: {k-Spades}{8-Diamonds}
Akin Tuna: {10-Clubs}{5-Clubs}

Tuna was looking for clubs and tens but it was Dimov improving to trips on the {8-Hearts} turn. The {6-Spades} river mean Tuna had to ship over a double.

The {2-Clubs}{4-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} board looked good for a Kitai knockout but the {q-Diamonds} river saved Dimov. Kitai sent over 312,000.

Daniel Dvoress Eliminated in 4th Place (€42,390)

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Daniel Dvoress
Daniel Dvoress

In what appeared to be a three-bet pot where three players saw the flop, Akin Tuna bet 117,000 on {6-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} and Daniel Dvoress shoved all in from the cutoff for about 300,000. Ognyan Dimov folded but Tuna quickly called.

Akin Tuna: {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}
Daniel Dvoress: {k-}{q-}

Dvoress was dominated and the {j-Diamonds} turn and {7-Diamonds} river didn't bring the king he needed. He wished everyone good luck and headed to payouts.
