Frank Visser

Level 26 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Endrit Geci opened from the hijack for 105,000 chips and Jason Wheeler three-bet to 355,000 from the cutoff.

The action folded back to Geci, who four-bet all in for 1,500,000. Wheeler let out a sigh before adding his cards to the muck, surrendering the pot to Geci.

Level 26 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Three players were all in preflop. Grzegorz Kozieja had around 460,000, Marco Meisser had the shortest stack and was covered by both players, and Karo Nuri was sitting on a big stack of close to 4,000,000. Players flipped their cards.

Marco Meisser: 8♥8♠
Grzegorz Kozieja: J♣J♠
Karo Nuri: A♣K♠

The board ran out 4♣5♣10♠2♠5♠. Kozieja held with his pocket jacks and the fives on board, tripling up his stack and sending Meisser to the rail in 25th place.

With that, play broke for the three table redraw.

Watanabe Fades the Straight

Frank Visser

Level 26 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Haijme Watanabe open-jammed 545,000 chips from the hijack. The action folded to Jon Ander Martinez in the big blind, who asked for a count and made the call shortly thereafter.

Hajime Watanabe: 8♥8♣
Jon Ander Martinez: 7♠7♦

Watanabe's superior pair flopped a set on 8♠5♦4♣, but it also gave Martinez a straight draw. The K♦ turn and Q♥ river did not bring it in, however, and Watanabe survived the first all-in of the final three tables.

Level 26 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

The pot stood at approximately 500,000 with two players looking at a full board of 9♥5♥8♥J♠A♣.

Eugenio Sanchioni, in the big blind, bet out for 535,000. Sokratis Linaras, on the button, raised to 1,500,000 and Sanchioni snap-called. Linaras tabled 7♥6♥ having flopped a straight flush, claiming him this massive pot.

Level 26 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

The action folded to Eugenio Sanchioni in the small blind, and he jammed all in, covering the 1,075,000 stack of big blind Hussein Abud. Abud immediately called and the cards were tabled.

Hussein Abud: 8♠8♥
Eugenio Sanchioni: Q♥Q♦

The 3♥J♦10♣ flop brought no trouble for Sanchioni's queens, but the 9♣ turn gave Abud an open-ended straight draw. The 4♠ river bricked out, however, and Abud headed to the payout desk while Sanchioni nearly doubled up.

Hajime Watanabe: A♠A♦
Aurelijus Sipavicius: K♣Q♦

Level 26 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

After losing a huge all-in to Safwane Bahri, set over set, the previous hand, Alen Sabic moved all in for his last 120,000 from early position. Bahri made the call in the big blind.

Alen Sabic: A♥5♣
Safwane Bahri: 7♥2♥

The board ran out 6♣A♦Q♥7♦7♣. Bahri went runner-runner to make trips, ultimately sending Sabic to the rail.

Daniel Koloszar Eliminated in 20th Place (€16,030)

Frank Visser

Level 26 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Bruno Volkmann raised to 175,000 from the small blind and Daniel Koloszar put out a three-bet to 400,000 from the big blind. Volkmann made the call and a 5♣2♦10♥ flop was spread out.

Volkmann checked and Koloszar made a bet of 210,000. Volkmann then raised to 450,000, after which Koloszar three-bet all in to 950,000. Volkmann called with the covering stack and a showdown was ordered.

Daniel Koloszar: Q♥Q♣
Bruno Volkmann: K♠10♣

Koloszar had the lead with his overpair, but the K♦ turn spelled disaster for him as it gave Volkmann two pair. The 6♣ river did not bring a queen to save Koloszar's tournament run, which ended in 20th place instead.
