Niveau 16 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Action folded to Allan Sannier on the button and the Frenchman opened for 15,000. Adrian Mateos folded his small blind and big blind Philipp Gruissem three-bet to 44,000. Sannier asked how much Gruissem had behind (121,000) and announced all in. Gruissem slid his stack forward in one swift move.

Allan Sannier:
Philipp Gruissem:

Gruissem was the clear favorite to double up but the odds were evened after the flop came .

"Oh my god!" Silver said.

The on the turn was one of the cards Gruissem needed to dodge and so he was down to just a couple of outs to survive. He still had a 9 percent chance of doubling up but the on the river wasn't one of the cards he was looking for. While he rivered a set it was Sannier making a flush and Gruissem departed in 11th place.

It's bubble time now and action is hand for hand. The player that goes out now will go home empty-handed, surviving the bubble will net the 9 remaining players a minimum of €46,180.

Silver Slowly Chipping Up

The appeared on the river and Sannier checked for the third time. Silver fired out a bet of 31,000 and that was enough to take it down.

Ole Schemion (front) and [Removed:17] (back)

It's been [Removed:17] who's been the most active player on the bubble so far. Yan was opening nearly every hand at his table, until he found some resistance in the form of Ole Schemion. Yan raised to 14,000 under the gun and Schemion called to his direct left.

On the flop, Yan checked and called a 22,000 bet from Schemion. On the turn, Yan checked again, and now Schemion bet 55,000. The Kiwi gave it some thought before making the second call as well.

The river paired the ace and both players quickly checked. Yan tabled for a king-high that missed everything, which prompted Schemion to show down to claim the table chiplead.
