Nick Petrangelo moved all in on the button for around 300,000 and was immediately called by Mike Watson in the big blind.

Petrangelo paired his queen on the Q62 flop, but further help did not arrive on the 84 runout. He was sent out on the bubble while the other six players secured themselves at least €77,300.

"Ladies and gentleman, I am all in!" announced Ren Lin as he pushed his remaining 110,000 in the middle.

Action folded around to Mike Watson, who called in the small blind. Players flipped their cards, with Lin at risk.

Ren Lin: A3 All in
Mike Watson: 88

The board ran out 7K64Q and Watson held with his pocket eights to win the pot. Lin was eliminated in eighth place, one before the money bubble.

Petrangelo Finds Queens Again

Level 17 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

One hand after having doubled up Sam Grafton, Nick Petrangelo moved all in from the small blind for 150,000 after Enrico Camosci had opened for 40,000 in the hijack.

Camosci made the call after a count, after which the cards were tabled.

Nick Petrangelo: QQ All in
Enrico Camosci: 77

This time, the best hand held as the AQK28 runout posed no threat to Petrangelo's queens, seeing him double up to 17 big blinds.

Grafton Cracks Petrangelo's Queens

Level 17 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Sam Grafton
Sam Grafton

Enrico Camosci raised to 40,000 from the cutoff, after which Sam Grafton jammed all in for 300,000 on the button.

Nick Petrangelo asked for a count in the big blind and made the call after he had received it, with the covering stack.

Camosci quickly got out of the way before the others' cards were turned over.

Sam Grafton: 66 All in
Nick Petrangelo: QQ

Grafton's days looked numbered, but the 78854 board made him a straight to double up and stay in contention. Petrangelo, meanwhile, was left with less than eight big blinds.

Astedt Makes Squeeze

Level 16 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Nick Petrangelo raised to 35,000 from middle position and Mike Watson called in late position. Niklas Astedt moved all in from the next seat across for 375,000 and both Petrangelo and Watson folded to give him the pot.

For the last couple of orbits, most pots have been won and lost on a preflop raise or flop bet.

Watson Wins Again

Level 16 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Mike Watson raised to 30,000 in the hijack and was called by Enrico Camosci in the small blind. Watson continued for another 30,000 on the 2Q6 flop, which Camosci check-called.

Both players then checked the 9 turn before the A fell on the river. Camosci checked for a third time, after which Watson fired a big bet of 120,000.

Camosci had to use two time banks before finding a fold, shipping more chips to the recent Triple Crown winner.
