Ramazanali Abbassi Eliminated in Eighth Place (€1,420)

Ramanzanali Abbassi - 8th
Ramanzanali Abbassi - 8th
Simon Kullenberg raised, and both Fedor Los in the cutoff and Ramazanali Abbassi on the button called. They saw a flop.

Flop: {9-Hearts} {8-Clubs} {10-Spades}

Kullenberg bet out and Los passed, but Abbassi raised all in. A call, and they were on their backs.

Abbassi: {10-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} {6-Clubs} {6-Spades}
Kullenberg: {A-Spades} {J-Clubs} {10-Clubs} {8-Diamonds}

Turn: {A-Diamonds}

River: {Q-Diamonds}

"Yeah! No. Yeah!" said Kullenberg as he worked out what they each had at the end of the hand. His straight beat Abbassi's set of tens, though, and we are just seven as Mr. Abbassi headed out to the lobby.

Minor Setback for Schouten

Simon Kullenberg and Mark Schouten checked a {K-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} flop, only for Kullenberg to check-call a bet of 15,000 on the {3-Diamonds} turn. On the {4-Diamonds} river, Kullenberg led out for 14,000, and Schouten swiftly relinquished his hand.

Jörg Peisert Eliminated in Ninth Place (€1,140)

Jörg Peisert - 9th
Jörg Peisert - 9th
With the action folded around, Jörg Peisert limped from the small blind and Peter Overdijk checked his option.

Flop = {J-Clubs}{10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}

Peisert led for 3,500, and Overdijk called.

Turn = {Q-Clubs}

Peisert, as cautious and deliberate in his motions as he had been on the flop, dipped into his stack and bet out again, this time for 5,000.

Overdijk took one breath before announcing, "Raise the pot."

"Call," responded Peisert in an instant.

Overdijk = {8-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{9-Spades}{K-Hearts}
Peisert = {2-Spades}{Q-Spades}{3-Spades}{9-Clubs}

River = {2-Clubs}

Kestas Girstautas Bubbles in Tenth Place

Kestas Girstautas limped in on the cutoff and Fedor Los raised pot from the button. Call.

Flop: {6-Spades} {Q-Hearts} {7-Clubs}

Girstautas checked and Los asked how much he had left; it was 42,000, and Los opted to check.

Turn: {7-Spades}

Girstautas checked, Los bet 10,000 and Girstautas softly yet instantly declared that he was all in. After a brief pause, Los called.

Girstautas: {A-Spades} {A-Hearts} {9-Hearts} {5-Diamonds}
Los: {K-Clubs} {K-Hearts} {10-Spades} {9-Spades}

River: a flushalicious {5-Spades}

Girstautas banged the table in frustration, but shook his assassin's hand before heading for the bar.

We are in the money, and there is now a brief pause while they redraw for the final table.
