Studniarz Remains Active

Level 25 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Sylwia Studniarz
Sylwia Studniarz

Sylwia Studniarz came back from the dinner break a little late, but wasted no time in getting involved in a few hands.

First, Studniarz raised from middle position and got a call from Tjenno Eskes on the button.

They saw a flop of QA2 where Studniarz fired 75,000, and Eskes called to the 8 turn. Studniarz slowed down and checked, then Eskes fired 250,000. Studinarz came back with a check-raise to 600,000, and Eskes quickly folded.

A few hands later, Siarhei Alontsau raised from middle position to 80,000 and Studniarz defended her big blind.

On the 234 flop, Studniarz checked, Alontsau bet 80,000, Studniarz raised to 225,000, and Alontsau folded.

In the very next hand, Jaehyung Park made it 80,000 on the button and Studniarz three-bet the small blind to 300,000. Park then four-bet shoved for around 930,000, and Studniarz had a decision.

"Do you want a call or not?" she asked. Park shrugged his shoulders and after thinking some more, Studniarz folded.

The 6 turn checked through for the 10 to come on the river. Bergstrom shoved for Park's remaining 850,000, and after a few moments, Park let go of his hand

Arjel Daci Eliminated in 22nd Place (€34,700)

Level 25 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Arjel Daci
Arjel Daci

Arjel Daci raised from the hijack to 80,000 and Umberto Ruggeri called in from the cutoff. Barak Oz also called from the big blind.

The flop came 9Q3 and Oz checked, then Daci fired 125,000. Ruggeri got out of the way, and Oz bumped it up to 300,000. After a while, Daci shoved for around 900,000, and Oz snap-called.

Arjel Daci: KQ All in
Barak Oz : Q9

Daci had flopped top pair, but was way behind to the two pair of Oz. An A on the turn did have Daci a few more ways to survive, but the 7 river wasn't one of them, and he was out in 22nd.

Fabian Bartuschk

Umberto Ruggeri opened the action with a raise to 60,000 from early position, only to face a three-bet to 150,000 from Fabian Bartuschk in the cutoff. Ruggeri made the call.

The flop came 378, and Ruggeri check-called a 110,000 continuation bet from Bartuschk.

When the Q landed on the turn, Ruggeri checked again, and Bartuschk seized the moment, shoving all in for his remaining 515,000. Ruggeri, low on time bank cards, eventually folded, conceding the pot to Bartuschk’s aggressive line.

Christian Rudolph: AK All in
Tjenno Eskes: QQ

Another classic race was underway, but the 49Q flop left Rudolph in a dire spot as Eskes improved to a set. The 7 on the turn sealed Rudolph's fate, and the 6 river confirmed his elimination in 23rd place.

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Stanislaw Grodek
Stanislaw Grodek

Stanislaw Grodek moved all in for 540,000 from the cutoff, and the action folded to Tjenno Eskes in the small blind. Eskes asked for the exact count before moving all in as well, prompting the big blind to fold.

Stanislaw Grodek: 77 All in
Tjenno Eskes: 1010

Grodek needed a seven to stay alive, but the 1084 flop left him in tough position as Eskes improved to a set. The 8 on the turn sealed Grodek's fate with Eskes making a full house, and the 3 river confirmed Grodek's elimination in 24th place.

Runcan Flips Out Vos; Three Tables Remain

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Pascal Vos
Pascal Vos

Paul Runcan opened from under the gun to 60,000 and Pascal Vos shoved from the next seat for 275,000. When it got back to Runcan, he debated for a while, then called.

Pascal Vos: 99 All in
Paul Runcan: J10

Runcan was pleased to find himself in a flip, and even more pleased after he paired his ten on the 4A10 flop. Only a nine could save Vos, but neither the 5 turn or K river could save him, and he was out in 25th.

Wojciechowski Sends Hansen Home

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Lasse Hanse
Lasse Hanse

When it folded to Lasse Hansen in the small blind he shoved for roughly 200,000 with only Pawel Wojciechowski to get through in the big blind. Wojciechowski looked at his cards and called to put Hansen at risk.

Lasse Hansen: J8 All in
Pawel Wojciechowski: K2

Hansen needed some help from the dealer to stay alive. He got it on the J85 flop as he improved to two pair, but Wojciechowski had a flush draw. The K turn gave Wojciechowski even more outs, as the 7 peeled off on the river to give Wojciechowski the winner with a flush. Wojciechowski pulled in the pot and Hansen was out.

McSwiney Sends Oberlieben to the Rail

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Ken Oberlieben
Ken Oberlieben

With the board showing 3Q710, Ken Oberlieben checked from the big blind and then faced a bet of 50,000 from Joshua McSwiney out of the cutoff. Oberlieben check-shoved for roughly 250,000, and McSwiney snap-called.

Ken Oberlieben: 107 All in
Joshua McSwiney: QJ

Oberlieben had turned two pair against the top pair of McSwiney and was in great shape to double up if he could fade the river. However, the board-pairing 3 dropped on the river to give McSwiney a higher two pair. Oberlieben wished the table good luck as he was sent to the payout desk.
