Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Two hands were frozen on the bubble as players had their all ins called. In the first hand, action was on the river on a board of 76Q77. Nataliia Alkhimova checked and Luc LaFontaine shoved all in.

Alkhimova showed JJ for a full house with sevens full of jacks. LaFontaine showed AQ for a full house with sevens full of queens. He doubled up and the bubble continued.

Immediately, spectators, floor staff and media moved over to the adjacent table, where two players were all in preflop. Tom Arovaara was all in against Florian Ahlmer, with Arovaara at risk.

Tom Arovaara: QQ
Florian Ahlmer: JJ

Arovaara was well ahead with his pocket queens against Ahlmer's jacks. However, the board ran out 9J684 to give Ahlmer a set of jacks on the flop.

Arovaara was eliminated on the bubble. The rest of the players have now guaranteed themselves €1,700.
