Niveau 26 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Alain Saka was all in for 670,000 from the small blind and was at risk to Henning Wendlandt, who was in the big blind.

Alain Saka: A♥K♥
Henning Wendlandt: A♦Q♠

It was a blind versus blind cooler and Saka had the best of it until the Q♥10♠6♥ flop.

Saka then pleaded for his tournament life and found no help on the 7♠ turn. However, the J♠ river gave him the checkmark with Broadway and he was mightily relieved to still be in contention for the €200,000 first place prize.

Niveau 26 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Roman Chochola moved all in for 500,000 from the hijack and was up against Istvan Toth under the gun.

Roman Chochola: A♣Q♥
Istvan Toth: A♥K♦

The 3♦3♥8♣ flop left open the possibility of a chop, but Toth's king-kicker continued to play following the 7♥ turn and 3♣ river to bust Chochola from the tournament.

Fausto Tantillo and Rafi Elharar were also recently eliminated.

The chip leader so far Jan Turjak opened to 125,000 from the cutoff. Then Illia Matus three-bet all in for 870,000. Turk asked for the count, and eventually called.

Illia Matus: 8♠8♦
Jan Turjak: Q♣Q♦

"Yes!" said Turjak while raising his hands in the air when he won on 2♠2♣6♠10♠6♣, eliminating Matus.

Niveau 27 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Xhavit Berisha raised to 120,000 in the hijack and Andreas Paleologos called in the small blind.

The flop came 9♥Q♣4♣ and Berisha continued for 130,000. Paleologos again called as the 9♣ fell on the turn.

Berisha then bet another 160,000, but this time Paleologos slid forward enough chips to put Berisha all in. Berisha, with around 650,000 remaining, tanked for more than three minutes until he tossed his cards away.

Niveau 27 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Elia Salerno was all in for 740,000 from the big blind and up against Samuel Stranak under the gun.

Elia Salerno: 7♥7♣
Samuel Stranak: A♠Q♣

The players were off to the races, but Stranak quickly ran out of gas on the J♥7♦2♠ flop as Salerno flopped a set.

The turn was the 7♠ and Salerno made quads. The A♥ on the river was useless to Stranak as he handed over most of his stack.

Stranak doubled up a few hands later when he moved all in with Q♥J♥ against Hertsel Levy's K♠Q♦ and made two pair on the 2♠8♣Q♠J♣3♣ board.

Hertsel Levy	3,300,000 1,200,000	1,200,000

Sakhai Catches David Bluffing

Niveau 27 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Cristian David opened to 115,000 from under the gun, and Hertsel Levy called in the big blind.

On a flop of A♥A♣10♥, David bet 85,000 and Levy check-called. However, nobody bet the turn 3♣.

The 5♥ completed the board, and Levy checked. David took this opportunity to bet 225,000 and put his opponent into the tank.

But after a long moment, Levy called with K♦J♣ for a missed straight draw. And he made the right move, as David only had Q♥J♦ for a bluff.

Niveau 27 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Cristian David opened to 100,000 from early position before Simon Buchta three-bet to 300,000 on his immediate left. Action folded to Tobias Peters, and he announced all in for around 1,650,000 from the cutoff. David got out of the way but Buchta committed the 600,000 he had behind.

Simon Buchta: A♦A♥
Tobias Peters: J♣J♥

The Q♥10♦10♠ was favorable for Bruchta as was the 10♥ turn. However, the J♠ river gave Peters a superior full house to seal the checkmark.

"Wow, what a river," chimed Peters. "What a river," he repeated.

Niveau 27 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Three-handed on a flop of 2♣2♠6♣, Mario Ripepi moved all in for 320,000 from the big blind. Tobias Peters was in middle position and gave it some thought before mucking, but Alexandr Dusco snap-called in the cutoff.

Mario Ripepi: K♣6♠
Alexandr Dusco: 8♣8♠

Dusco's eights and deuces were ahead of Ripepi's smaller two pair until the 6♦ turn improved Ripepi to a full house.

Dusco turned away from the table and began muttering to himself as the 3♠ completed the board, sealing a double up for Ripepi.
