Level 27 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Viktor Katzenberger
Viktor Katzenberger

Viktor Katzenberg pushed all in from the under-the-gun position with about 600,000 and it folded all the way to big blind Cyril Monbrun-Massot who immediately called after he looked at his cards.

Viktor Katzenberger: {a-Spades}{9-Clubs}
Cyril Monbrun-Massot: {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}

The {10-Spades}{7-Spades}{2-Clubs} made it all pretty tough for Katzenberger and it was all over on the {2-Diamonds} turn. The {k-Diamonds} river was dealt as a courtesy.

Katzenberger took home €17,550 for his 18th-place finish in the €2,200 EPT National High Roller.

Nicolas Cardyn: {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}
Ari Engel: {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}

Pajak Doubles Through Cardyn

Level 27 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Tomasz Pajak pushed all in for 995,000 from early position and he was holding {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}. It folded all the way around to Nicolas Cardyn in the big blind and he thought about it for a bit before pulling the trigger. He called and opened up his {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs} and saw they were in bad shape.

The dealer put the {k-Hearts}{3-Spades}{2-Clubs}{q-Spades}{q-Diamonds} board down and the chips were pushed to Pajak who is getting closer to the average chip stack.

Alin Mitrache: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}

There was plenty to work with for Gortikov on a {j-Spades}{8-Clubs}{6-Clubs} flop but neither the {8-Diamonds} turn and {k-Hearts} river got him there.
