Niveau 25 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Ran Ilani tried to take as much time as he could for the pay jump. The tournament director even warned him before the break. He finally had to go all in for 290,000 from the small blind. Niall Farrell, who opened from under the gun, made the call.

Ran Ilani: A♣J♥
Niall Farrell: K♠Q♣

Ilani remained in the lead after the flop of 4♠6♦8♦. However, the turn K♦ brought a pair for Farrell. Even though he also hit a pair on the river J♦, Ilani was eliminated in 23rd place for €31,980.
