Stephen Chidwick Eliminated in 14th Place (€8,350)

Level 19 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Stephen Chidwick
Stephen Chidwick

Having survived the bubble with two double-ups, Stephen Chidwick was then all-in out of the big blind. Prior to that, there had been a raise by Sirzat Hissou from under the gun, a call by Tom Orpaz and Kayhan Mokri followed.

With three active players to the {k-Spades}{10-Clubs}{5-Clubs} flop, Hissou check-folded when Orpaz bet 75,000 and Mokri called.

The {4-Clubs} fell on the turn and Orpaz checked. Mokri inquired to see his stack and pushed all-in, forcing a quick fold.

Stephen Chidwick: {q-Clubs}{8-Hearts}
Kayhan Mokri: {a-Clubs}{5-Spades}

Upon seeing the cards of Mokri, Orpaz sighed and did so again after the {6-Hearts} river sent Chidwick to the rail in 14th place.

"You folded a ten?" Andre Marques asked and Orpaz replied "What can I do ... you already know, I had a club in my hand" without disclosing his holdings.

Mokri redeemed his bounty right away and added a min-cash worth €5,000 to his tally for the day.

Nikita Kuznetsov had raised from the hijack and then put Pablo Navarro at risk, who got the last 510,000 in from the button.

Pablo Navarro: {9-Spades}{8-Spades}
Nikita Kuznetsov: {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}

Ren Lin gasped a "woah" when Navarro spiked two pair on the {9-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} flop. The {10-Diamonds} turn opened up some split opportunities but the {a-Hearts} river locked up a full double for the Spaniard.

Hissou Rivers a Straight to Double Up

Level 19 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Sirzat Hissou was down to 205,000 and shoved all in from under the gun. Jamil Wakil picked up a good enough hand from the big blind and called to put Hissou at risk.

Sirzat Hissou: {10-Spades}{6-Spades}
Jamil Wakil: {a-Spades}{5-Clubs}

The flop came {k-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{9-Hearts} and Wakil held the lead despite Hissou picking up a straight draw. The {4-Hearts} on the turn changed nothing but the {q-Hearts} on the river gave Hissou a straight.

Sirzat Hissou Eliminated in 13th Place (€10,000)

Level 19 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Sirzat Hissou
Sirzat Hissou

One hand after his double-up, Sirzat Hissou was in the big blind and defended it against a min-raise by Tom Orpaz from under the gun. The duo headed to the {j-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} flop on which Hissou checked. Orpaz continued for 85,000 and instantly called the shove by his table neighbour.

Sirzat Hissou: {j-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}
Tom Orpaz: {k-Spades}{j-Spades}

Hissou instantly grabbed his belongings and was ready to go. No help arrived on either the {8-Hearts} turn and {a-Diamonds} river as the kicker played to eliminate the German.

Orpaz bemoaned that this was his first bounty despite being a bigger stack for a while, which he then redeemed for an extra €10,000 and filmed for Instagram.
