Kayhan Mokri
Kayhan Mokri

Kayhan Mokri moved all in for just for around 150,000 in the cutoff and Nacho Barbero reshoved all in for slightly more on the button. The blinds folded and the two players revealed their cards.

Kayhan Mokri: K9
Nacho Barbero: KJ

The flop came 732 and Mokri picked up some outs despite being dominated. The Q on the turn changed nothing and the J on the river paired up Barbero who claimed the bounty.

Barbero instantly went to the treasure chest to redeem his ticket and drew the last €50,000 bounty.

"What am I doing playing this tournament with the top 0.1% luckiest people in the world!? I have no chance!" Sam Grafton exclaimed.

Sam Grafton was riding a heater and it continued as the money bubble approached. Felipe Ketzer was in the cutoff and opted to get all of the chips in the middle against Grafton in the big blind.

Sam Grafton: KK
Felipe Ketzer: A7

The board ran out clean for Grafton but the stacks were very similar. It was Grafton who was at risk for 812,000 and earned the double-up, leaving Ketzer with just 16,000 chips after the hand.

On the next hand, Ketzer got the last of his chips in the middle against Artur Martirosian. Ketzer was unable to connect with the board and was left with just five-high, as he bowed out of the tournament.
