Zhi Yi Ning Eliminated in 9th Place (€14,400)

Level 21 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Zhi Yi Ning
Zhi Yi Ning

Ren Lin raised to 110,000 from the hijack and Zhi Yi Ning pondered his options in the big blind. He eventually stuck in his last 115,000 chips and Lin quickly called.

Zhi Yi Ning: {q-Spades}{3-Clubs}
Ren Lin: {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}

Ning had an uphill battle and the flop of {10-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{5-Hearts} was of no immediate help. The {9-Clubs} on the turn left Ning drawing dead to the {5-Clubs} on the river and he was eliminated in ninth place.

Ning More Than Triples

Level 21 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Zhi Yi Ning moved all-in for the last 30,000 from under the gun and Pablo Navarro raised to 160,000 in the very next seat. Only Mauricio Ferreira Pais called in the big blind, then check-called Navarro's continuation bet worth 150,000 on the {10-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} flop.

Ferreira Pais checked the {j-Hearts} turn and folded once Navarro made it 500,000 to go.

"I have the nuts," Ning replied and tabled the {q-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} for the queen-high straight. Navarro could improve with his {k-Hearts}{q-Spades} but bricked the {2-Spades} river to win the larger side pot.

Navarro Leaves Ning on Crumbs

Level 21 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Zhi Yi Ning shoved all in for 505,000 in middle position and Pablo Navarro stuck in his last 475,000 from the hijack. The rest of the table folded and the two hands were face up.

Pablo Navarro: {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}
Zhi Yi Ning: {a-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

The flop came {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{7-Clubs} to provide some chop outs. The {q-Hearts} on the turn also gave Ning a flush draw but the {4-Diamonds} on the river bricked out and Navarro doubled up.

Dinner Break for the Final Nine Players

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

Kayhan Mokri raised it up to 80,000 for two hands in a row. He first folded to a three-bet by Mauricio Ferreira Pais and then collected the blinds and big blind ante. That ended the level and sent the last nine players on a scheduled 75-minute dinner break until approximately 9.02 pm local time.

Navarro Triples Up

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

Nikita Kuznetsov opened to 80,000 in early position and was called by Kayhan Mokri on his left. Juan Navarro opened the door by shipping all in for 145,000 from the big blind but both players just opted to call.

The flop came {q-Spades}{4-Clubs}{3-Clubs} and Kuznetsov led out with a bet of 155,000. Mokri quickly folded and the two remaining hands were tabled.

Pablo Navarro: {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}
Nikita Kuznetsov: {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}

The {9-Spades} and {j-Diamonds} runout changed nothing and Navarro earned a full triple-up.

Kuznetsov Fades Elimination

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

Nikita Kuznetsov moved all in for 410,000 on the button and Pablo Navarro quickly called from the big blind.

Nikita Kuznetsov: {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}
Pablo Navarro: {a-Clubs}{j-Spades}

The flop came {9-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{3-Spades} and Kuznetsov still held a dominating lead. The {6-Spades} on the turn provided a sweat with Navarro picking up the lone flush draw but the {k-Diamonds} on the river gave Kuznetsov the double-up.

Bruno Volkmann Eliminated in 10th Place (€12,000)

Level 20 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Bruno Volkman
Bruno Volkman

Kayhan Mokri had previously jammed on the button and got through with it as both Andre Marques and Bruno Volkmann folded thereafter. He just did so again with the far bigger stack and Marques sigh-folded once more.

Volkmann, however, quickly glanced at the tournament info before calling all-in for 610,000 out of the big blind.

Bruno Volkmann: {a-Clubs}{10-Clubs}
Kayhan Mokri: {j-Hearts}{9-Clubs}

"Oh come on, I was ahead," Marques joked.

Mokri took the lead on the {9-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} flop while Volkmann had two overcards and a gutshot at his disposal. Nothing changed with the {q-Hearts} turn and the {7-Spades} river reduced the field to the final nine contenders.

"Come on, give me another disappointing 5k," Mokri joked towards the Mystery Bounty desk. And that's exactly what he pulled a few seconds later.
