Level 25 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Nixon was in a gross spot, facing pocket tens for Baneham versus his own pocket fours. There was no help on the board and Nixon was forced to the cage to collect €7,740 for 8th place.

Lyle Bateman

Level 24 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Unibet Ambassador Espen Jorstad is the short stack at the table, and after Ciaran Burke raised the cutoff to 80,000 in the final hand of Level 24, and Alex Hendriks called from the button, Jorstad shoved for 420,000 in the big blind.

Both Burke and Hendriks tanked for a minute or so each, but ultimately, Jorstad was able to add the blinds and antes, plus a raise and a call to his stack for a much needed chip-up.
