Niveau 27 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

In a dramatic moment that seemed to have been building since players returned from break, Diogo Coelho raised from the cutoff and Fahredin Mustafov reshoved from the big blind. Coelho made the call and players flipped their cards.

Fahredin Mustafov:
Diogo Coelho:

It was a coinflip situation with Mustafov at risk. The board came . Mustafov's pocket nines were good on the flop, but a queen on the turn put Coelho ahead and he held on the river. Mustafov was eliminated in tenth place for €72,000.

With that elimination, it was time for a redraw and the tournament is now down to the final table. Pay jumps from here on are worth tens of thousands of euros.
