Level 16 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Charlie Carrel
Charlie Carrel

Charlie Carrel opened for 60,000 in the cutoff and immediately called when Matthias Eibinger set him in from the big blind.

Charlie Carrel: {7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}
Matthias Eibinger: {a-Spades}{3-Diamonds}

Carrel was left shaking his head after the {a-Clubs}{2-Spades}{3-Spades} flop. The running {6-Diamonds} and {6-Hearts} didn't save him.

"Gee gee," he said.

Carrel earned €134,440 ($152,189).

Plesuv Wins 1.5 Million Pot With an Unimproved Five-Six

Level 16 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Action folded to Andras Nemeth in the small blind and he limped in. Big blind Pavel Plesuv checked his option.

What started out as a small pot would soon become anything but. Nemeth bet 35,000 on {3-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{8-Spades} and Plesuv raised to 115,000. Nemeth came over the top with the three-bet to 285,000. Plesuv called.

The {7-Clubs} hit the turn and Nemeth continued his aggression with a bet of 400,000. Plesuv used a time bank card before he called.

With the {8-Clubs} completing the board, Nemeth checked. Plesuv again needed a time bank card before he checked behind.

"It's very unlikely this wins," Nemeth said before showing {4-Diamonds}{5-Spades}.

Indeed it didn't, but Plesuv had anything but a powerhouse himself, taking down the pot with {5-Diamonds}{6-Spades} and a huge grin on his face.

Luc Greenwood Eliminated in 5th Place (€172,850)

Level 16 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Luc Greenwood
Luc Greenwood

Andras Nemeth opened button and Luc Greenwood defended big blind. The flop came {5-Spades}{8-Spades}{10-Diamonds} and Greenwood checked. Nemeth bet 90,000 and immediately called when Greenwood shoved for about 500,000.

Andras Nemeth: {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}
Luc Greenwood: {10-Hearts}{7-Hearts}

Greenwood was in need of help with an inferior pair. The {a-Hearts} turn prompted him to push out his ten as if asking for one on the river but it was a {9-Diamonds} instead.

Greenwood earned €172,850 ($195,693).

Eibinger Doubles in Monster Pot to Take Lead

Level 17 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Matthias Eibinger
Matthias Eibinger

Matthias Eibinger completed the blind and Andras Nemeth raised to 140,000. Eibinger came back with 560,000 and Nemeth called. The flop came {2-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} and Eibinger bet 575,000 after using a time bank. Nemeth called. On the {5-Hearts} turn, Eibinger counted out his stack then moved in for 1,505,000. Nemeth grimaced but called at the buzzer before he'd have had to use a time bank himself.

Matthias Eibinger: {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}
Andras Nemeth: {a-Spades}{j-Spades}

The river was the {6-Spades} and Eibinger dragged the biggest pot of the tournament thus far.

Another One for Xu

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

Liang Xu raised to 90,000 under the gun and big blind Pavel Plesuv called. Plesuv check-called a bet of 50,000 on {4-Clubs}{Q-Spades}{2-Spades} before they both checked the {10-Diamonds} on the turn. The {4-Hearts} completed the board and Plesuv checked once again. Xu bet 150,000 and Plesuv called. Xu showed {K-Spades}{Q-Clubs} and Plesuv mucked.

Eibinger Racing Farther Ahead

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

Pavel Plesuv opened for 85,000 on the button and Matthias Eibinger defended big blind. The flop came {8-Spades}{6-Clubs}{2-Hearts} and Eibinger checked. Plesuv bet 60,000 and Eibinger made it 180,000. Plesuv continued to the {j-Hearts} and called another barrel of 200,000. On the {4-Hearts} river, Eibinger checked and Plesuv bet 525,000.

"I'm probably not folding," Eibinger muttered.

Nonetheless, he thought long enough to use a time bank but did slide in the call. Plesuv flipped over {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs} for an airball and Eibinger showed his {8-Hearts}{5-Spades}.
