More Than 40 Big Blinds Average

Level 28 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

Ricardo Manquant opened from the cutoff and Najib Bennis flat-called in the small blind. Bennis check-called a bet of 120,000 on the {3-Spades} {10-Hearts} {2-Clubs} flop and the {9-Clubs} turn as well as {9-Diamonds} river were checked through. Bennis showed {4-Hearts} {3-Hearts} and won the pot.

One hand later, Miroslav Alilovic opened from the cutoff to 105,000 and Diego Aranzadi called in the big blind. Again there was a small continuation bet by the initial aggressor on a flop of {9-Spades} {7-Diamonds} {J-Hearts} and Aranzadi called the 85,000. The {8-Clubs} turn were checked through and Aranzadi won the pot on the {5-Spades} river without showdown.

With an average of more than 40 big blinds, this will take a while to determine a winner.

Fahd Kaabat Eliminated in 8th Place (€15,997)

Level 27 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Fahd Kaabat - 8th place
Fahd Kaabat - 8th place

Fahd Kaabat open-shoved for around 300,000 in chips and Antoine Rahal reshoved from three seats over to isolate successfully, Matas Cimbolas mucked the {9-Spades} {3-Hearts} and was suspecting pocket aces to be in the showdown.

Kaabat: {Q-Hearts} {Q-Clubs}
Rahal: {A-Clubs} {A-Hearts}

The {Q-Diamonds} {3-Spades} {6-Hearts} flop gave Kaabat the lead and his rail erupted. The {K-Spades} turn bricked, but the dealer then burned and turned the {A-Spades} river let the better hand preflop hold up.
