Hakim Zoufri Eliminated in 10th Place

Level 15 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante
Hakim Zoufri
Hakim Zoufri

Gerard Pique raised to 55,000 from the cutoff, Hakim Zoufri shoved all in for 140,000 on the button, Stephen Chidwick reraised to 225,000 from the small blind, and Pique folded.

Hakim Zoufri: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}
Stephen Chidwick: {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}

Zoufri needed to hit or he would be bubble in the High Roller. The {K-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{3-Spades} flop missed the Dutchman, who added a flush draw on the {6-Diamonds} turn. The {K-Hearts} on the river bricked, giving Chidwick the winner.

All nine remaining players are guaranteed at least €46,900.

Stefan Schillhabel open-shoved 300,000 from under the gun. Everyone folded to Ben Tollerene in the big blind, who quickly called.

Stefan Schillhabel: {6-}{6-}
Ben Tollerene: {J-}{J-}

The board didn't bring any help for Schillhabel and he quickly headed out of the tournament area.

Pique Doubles With Quad Aces

Level 14 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Gerard Pique
Gerard Pique

Mustapha Kanit opened the action to 40,000 in first position. Gerard Pique three-bet to 83,000 one seat to his left. From the big blind, Marcelo Bonanata four-bet shoved all in for over 700,000, covering both players. Kanit quickly folded.

"Call," Pique casually said, who called all in for 331,000.

Marcelo Bonanata: {K-Spades}{K-Hearts}
Gerard Pique: {A-Diamonds}{A-Spades}

Everyone swarmed in to witness the action unfold as the dealer spread out a {Q-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{4-Diamonds} flop. The {A-Hearts} on the turn sealed the double-up for the FC Barcelona star, and the {A-Clubs} on the river was just icing on the cake.

Isaac Haxton open-shoved 193,000 from middle position. Mustapha Kanit reshoved from the small blind, and Gerard Pique folded his big blind.

Isaac Haxton: {A-Clubs}{6-Hearts}
Mustapha Kanit: {A-Spades}{9-Diamonds}

The board ran out {J-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{10-Spades}{Q-Clubs} and the two low cards on the board ensured Kanit's nine kicker played. Haxton finished in 12th place and went home empty-handed.

There won't be a cash for Mikita Badziakouski in this Single-Day High Roller. We missed the exact details but Tollerene had {A-Spades}{Q-Hearts} open on a {4-Spades}{2-Hearts}{6-Spades}{7-Spades}{9-Spades} board, giving him the nut flush. Badziakouski said his goodbyes and headed for the rail.
