Level 30 : 80,000/160,000, 20,000 ante
Jakub Michalak
Jakub Michalak

Pete Linton raised to 325,000 preflop with {K-Spades}{Q-Hearts} and Jakub Michalak three-bet to 925,000 with {A-Diamonds}{2-Spades} from the blinds. Linton called to see an {A-Clubs}{Q-Spades}{4-Hearts} flop.

Michalak bet 525,000 and Linton called to see the {J-Spades} on the turn. Michalak continued his aggression with a bet of 925,000 but again Linton wasn't going anywhere and he made the call.

The {7-Diamonds} on the river was a blank and Michalak debated a third bet but opted to check and Linton checked back. Two million more chips moved from Linton to Michalak and the Pole is now over 15 million.

Gwendoline Janot Eliminated in 6th Place (€73,000)

Level 30 : 80,000/160,000, 20,000 ante
Gwendoline Janot
Gwendoline Janot

The next hand saw Gwendoline Janot all in preflop for her last five big blinds. It was passed around to Jakub Michalak in the big blind who made the obligatory call. The French lady was happy to see that she had live cards.

Michalak: {A-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}
Janot: {10-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}

The board came {9-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} and neither player improved. Janot becomes the first player out of the tournament, 'officially' winning €73,000.

World Class Play by Pete Linton

Level 30 : 80,000/160,000, 20,000 ante
Pete Linton
Pete Linton

Pete Linton has just made a move that was truly world class and was reminiscent of the famous Phil Ivey versus Paul Jackson hand.

Linton opened to the 325,000 on the button and Jakub Michalak three-bet from the big blind to 750,000 with {K-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}. Linton was not done with the hand and he four-bet to 1,470,000. Michalak then five-bet to 2,250,000. Amazingly, Linton moved all in and Michalak snap-folded.

Why was it amazing? Because Linton only held the lowly {8-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}! Fantastic play by Linton.

Michalak Catches Janot

Level 30 : 80,000/160,000, 20,000 ante
Jakub Michalak
Jakub Michalak

Jakub Michalak raised to 325,000 from the button with {A-Clubs}{A-Spades}, it was passed to Gwendoline Janot in the big blind who stuck in a three-bet to 900,00 with {J-Clubs}{9-Spades}.

Sneakily, Michalak opted to just call and see a flop of {3-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}. Janot continued with a bet of 700,000 and again Michalak just flat-called.

The turn was the {A-Diamonds} and Janot slowed down, Michalak fired 675,000 and Janot instantly folded.
