Level 30 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Rafaelle Sorrentino bet 160,000 from the cutoff and was shoved on by Giulio Astarita on the button for 805,000. Ricard Gonzalez cold-called in the big blind and Sorrentino got out of the way.

Giulio Astarita: A10 All in
Ricard Gonzalez: 99

A flip that was settled on the flop after the board of AQ237 gave Astarita top pair to complete the double-up.

Venelin Pashev Eliminated in 11th Place (€13,150)

Level 30 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Venelin Pashev
Venelin Pashev

Venelin Pashev moved all in for 610,000 from the hijack. Rafaelle Sorrentino also shoved for 1,325,000 in the small blind.

Giulio Astarita in the big blind looked pained and went deep into the tank. Eventually, the Italian made the call and covered his opponents.

Venelin Pashev: KQ All in
Rafaelle Sorrentino: AK All in
Giulio Astarita: 77

Pashev ran king-queen into Big Slick again and also had pocket sevens to worry about. The flop of J65 was safe for Astarita, but the A gave his compatriot Sorrentino the lead.

The 9 completed the board to send Pashev out, Astarita was left with dust and Sorrentino almost tripled up.

Pashev Left with Fumes

Level 30 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Venelin Pashev bet 240,000 from the small blind. Ricard Gonzalez raised to 900,000 in the big blind.

Venelin Pashev thought over his decision for over a minute before moving all in. Gonzalez called for 2,500,000.

Ricard Gonzalez: AK All in
Venelin Pashev: KQ

Gonzalez extended his lead on the flop of A99 to two pair, but Pashev picked up the nut flush draw. But the Bulgarian couldn't improve as the 89 completed the board to improve Gonzalez to a full house.

After the blind on blind encounter Pashev is just left with less than eight big blinds.

All the chips went into the middle preflop with Jordy Vleugels barely covering Laurent Cessy who had 1,360,000.

Laurent Cessy: 77 All in
Jordy Vleugels: AK

A classic race and Vleguels took the leas on the KJ5 flop with top pair. The Belgian professional footballer, who plies his trade in Thailand, improved to Broadway after the Q10 to send Cessy to the rail in 12th place.
