Michel Molenaar Eliminated in 7th Place (€72,000)

Dan O'Hair

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

Michel Molenaar moved all in for his last 70,000 from the hijack and was called by Artsiom Lasouski in the small blind and Ottomar Ladva in the big blind.

Lasouski check-called a 35,000 bet from Ladva on the 7♦9♦3♦ flop and then both players checked on the K♥ turn.

The 10♦ completed the board and Lasouski check-called a 90,000 bet from Ladva, who sheepishly tabled 4♣3♥ for a pair of treys.

Lasouski held 5♦5♥, which was best against Molenaar's Q♠J♥ to eliminate him in seventh place.

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

Stoyan Madanzhiev was already all in against Biao Ding and Artsiom Lasouski on a board of 5♠6♠9♣7♠A♦.

Madanzhiev held K♦3♣ and Ding held K♣J♣, which were no good against the Q♣Q♥ of Lasouski — leaving Ding with just 50,000 and eliminating Madanzhiev in eighth place.

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

Patrik Antonius raised to 65,000 from middle position and just behind him, James Collopy three-bet from the hijack. Action folded back to Antonius, who made it 375,000 to go. Collopy announced he was all in and Antonius quickly called all in for approximately 900,000 total.

Patrik Antonius: K♠K♥ All in
James Collopy: A♠Ax

It was the ultimate cooler for Antonius, and the J♥2♦8♥2♣5♦ runout kept Collopy best to eliminate Antonius just shy of the money.

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

Ottomar Ladva opened to 60,00 from middle position and was called by Mathew Frankland in the hijack and Biao Ding in the cutoff for a three-way pot.

Ladva continued for 50,000 on the 7♦6♦4♦ flop and Frankland raised to 175,000. Ding folded and Ladvar called.

Ladva checked again on the 10♥ turn and Frankland moved all in. Ladva called all in for approximately 500,000 and hands were revealed.

Ottomar Ladva: 10♠10♦ All in
Mathew Frankland: 7♠7♥

It was a nightmare scenario for Frankland, and the 4♣ river kept Ladva best with tens-full for the massive double up.

Level 18 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

The stone money bubble has arrived and Mathew Frankland has been applying quite a bit of pressure to the other players.

Frankland has been three-betting and shoving preflop in several hands as of late and no one has given him any resistance thus far. He is the current chip leader with approximately 1,600,000 in chips.

Level 18 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Nick Petrangelo raised from the cutoff to 120,000 and got a single call from Ottomar Ladva on the button.

The players went heads up and saw the K♠Q♥A♠ flop.

Both players checked to the J♦ turn. Ladva sent Petrangelo into the tank by forcing him to call all in for his remaining stack. Petrangelo used a number of time banks to monitor the action on the other table before calling and putting himself at risk.

Nick Petrangelo: A♦3♥ All in
Ottomar Ladva: A♣J♥

Ladva was sitting comfortably with two pair, and Petrangelo couldn't be saved from elimination.

He left the table as the dealer placed the 8♥ river card, and the remaining players moved to the nine-handed final table, with only one person to bust before the players reach the money.
