Artürs Ščerbaks open-shoved his stack of around nine big blinds in the middle. On the button, Michal Lubas reshoved all in for more than twenty big blinds and the other players folded.
Artürs Ščerbaks:
Michal Lubas:
Lubas had the flush outs of Ščerbaks covered, but his hole cards were still live. Neither player found anything on a board and Lubas dragged it with ace high. The Latvian hope just missed out on the final table and went home with €11,184.
Peter Kamaras opened to 300,000 in the small blind and Sonay Kehya defended his big blind. The flop was and Kamaras checked. Kehya bet 375,000 and Kamaras called. The turn was the and Kamaras check-called a 450,000 bet from Kehya.
The on the river made things interesting and Kamaras checked a third time. Kehya emptied the clip by firing 750,000, which sent Kamaras into deep thought.
"So good?", he asked Kehny, knowing fully well he wouldn't get an answer. Kamaras leant over to take another good look at the cards on the felt. He counted out his stack meticulously, took around two minutes to come to a decision, then put 750,000 with a loud thump in the middle.
Kehya showed for a mere six high and Kamaras tabled for a pair of queens. Kehya dropped to 13 big blinds after the hand, Kamaras is back where he has been all tournament long: at the top.
With several shortish stacks in the room, the triangular all-in button is a common sight on the tables. Both Jan Stariat and Michal Lubas went for it and picked up the blinds and antes uncontested.
The shortest stack coming out of the dinner break was Mindaugas Jonuskis. The Lithuanian also became the first to head to the rail after the pause. With seven blinds left, Jonuskis went for it with and got a call from Cenk Oguz with .
The flop gave Jonuskis the three he was looking for. The on the turn was safe, but the dreaded on the river ended it for the last Lithuanian. He was also the last one to receive €8,689, all the other players have secured at least a five figure finish.
Although it's already 9:10 p.m. local time, the players still need to go on a dinner break and take a 45-minute pauze to get some food. All counts will follow shortly. Action will resume around 9:55 p.m.
Holding , Arturs Scerbaks found himself at risk for his last 1,200,000. Stanislav Koleno, who won a couple of medium sized pots in the past half hour to build his stack, held and tried to score the elimination.
Scerbaks found the king he needed on and doubled up.
Arünas Jocius was down to just 470,000 and shoved all in. Jan Stariat called from the big blind to put the Lithuanian in the danger zone.
Arünas Jocius:
Jan Stariat:
The doorcard was the and Jocius appeared to take a huge lead, until the and popped up as well. The turn and river didn't help Jocius, who saw his deep run come to an end in 13th place.
