Jorge Pereira Eliminated in 8th Place (€18,700)

Level 36 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Jorge Pereira
Jorge Pereira

Mohamed Aissaoui open-jammed his button for 6,150,000. Diego Beirigo quickly folded the small blind, but Jorge Pereira spent a few minutes tanking in the big blind.

"Let's gamble," he eventually announced as he called off his stack of 1,875,000 to put himself at risk.

Jorge Pereira: KQ All in
Mohamed Aissaoui: A3

Aissaoui's ace was ahead, and Pereira's outs were diminished as the 258 flop gave his opponent a flush draw. The 6 turn did little for either player, but the Q river saw Aissaoui hit his flush.

Aissaoui knocked out Pereira from the final table while he chipped up to a near-average stack.

Piotr Druzba
Piotr Druzba

Short-stack Piotr Druzba moved all in from middle position for 1,100,000, and was met with a three-bet to 1,800,000 by Diego Beirigo in the cutoff, forcing out the rest of the table.

Piotr Druzba: J7 All in
Diego Beirigo: 1010

Druzba needed some help from the board to survive, but he whiffed the A96Q4 runout, Beirigo's pocket tens were good enough to take the pot and make Druzba the first player to depart the final table.

Beirigo Three-Bets Huge

Level 35 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Joao Sydenstricker raised to 875,000 in the hijack before being faced with a three-bet to 5,100,000 from small blind Diego Beirigo.

Sydenstricker counted his chips and thought for a good while. Eventually, he surrendered his cards to the dealer and forfeited the pot to his fellow countryman.

Khaled Doubles Blind-On-Blind

Level 35 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Samy Khaled

It folded to Jacob Witt in the small blind, who put big blind Samy Khaled all in for his stack of 2,225,000.

Khaled quickly called and both players tabled their cards.

Samy Khaled: A10 All in
Jacob Witt: A7

Khaled dominated Witt, even more so when the flop paired him on 610J. The 9 turn brought a straight draw for Witt, but the Q river solidified Khaled's double-up, getting nearly even in chips with his opponent.

Beirigo Grabs Lead

Level 34 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Diego Beirigo limped in form the small blind, after which Jorge Pereira made it 1,000,000 to go in the big blind. Beirigo called and check-called 1,000,000 on the 8KQ flop as well.

The pair then checked through the A turn and 4 river to showdown. Beirigo tabled K9 for a pair of kings. Pereira flashed Kx before mucking his cards and heading off to dinner.
