Hand 17-19: Parlafes Remaining Active

Level 29 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Hand 17: Ognyan Dimov opened to 160,000 from under the gun with {A-Clubs}{J-Clubs}. He was awarded the blinds and antes.

Hand 18: Action folded to Dany Parlafes in the small blind and he made it 200,000 to go with {A-Spades}{Q-Clubs}.

Hand 14: Dany Parlafes opened the button with {A-Clubs}{7-Hearts} to 200,000. The small blind folded, but Benjamin Buhr made the call holding {J-Hearts}{9-Hearts} in the big blind. Buhr check folded to Parlafas' c-bet on {2-Spades}{7-Spades}{4-Diamonds}.

Hand 15: Action folded to Benjamin Buhr in the small blind with {K-Hearts}{10-Clubs}. The Frenhman limped in and the other Frenchman (Pollak) with {4-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} in the big blind raised it up to 250,000. Buhr made the call.

{J-Clubs}{J-Spades}{6-Diamonds} and Buhr and Pollak checked. The {8-Hearts} fell on the turn and Buhr checked again. Pollak, with just about nothing, cut out 260,000 and slid it forward. Buhr folded his king-high and Pollak was to receive the pot.

Hand 16: Dimov folded his queen-ten in the cutoff, but Buhr right next to him wasn't going to do the same. Buhr found {A-Clubs}{A-Hearts} on the button and he made it 160,000. Pollak folded his small blind. Bielskis in the big blind shoved all in for 1,155,000 and Buhr instantly called.

Bielskis had {A-Spades}{3-Spades} and didn't hit anything on the flop: {9-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}. So not much hope, and he was drawing dead by the time the {9-Spades} hit the turn. The {9-Hearts} on the river was there just to make things official and Bielskis hit the rail.

The remaining four players are guaranteed €187,550.
