zedmaster84

Niveau 34 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Exactly one hand after the double-up for Tobias Peters, the Dutchman was in the small blind and checked the tournament info screen carefully. He then announced all-in and Rafi Elharar instantly called for what appeared to be 24 big blinds effective.

Rafi Elharar: A♣K♠
Tobias Peters: 6♣6♥

"Six on the flop," a friend of Peters said but the prediction didn't come true just yet on 4♣2♠2♥.

The six then came on the 6♦ turn to leave Elharar drawing dead prior to the 7♠ river, ending his run on his birthday in third place for €60,100.

There will now be a short break ahead of the heads-up duel between Peters and Barny Boatman with a three-to-one lead for the former.

zedmaster84

Niveau 34 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

After losing a portion of his short stack just prior with the preflop limp, Jorge Ufano pushed all-in on the button.

Tobias Peters asked for an exact count and folded when it was deemed to be for 1,425,000. Rafi Elharar instantly called and the cards were turned over.

Jorge Ufano: K♦J♥
Rafi Elharar: J♦J♠

The A♦9♠5♠ flop saw Peters mention he had folded an ace. No help arrived on the 5♦ turn or 4♥ river, sending Ufano to the payout desk in fourth place. He collects €41,600 for the efforts and joked to his compatriots "good luck in the Main Event" as they all locked up the entry worth €10,350 with his elimination.

zedmaster84

Niveau 33 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

The action folded to Daniel Koloszar in the hijack and he moved all-in. Rafi Elharar on the button asked for a count and once it was determined to be for 1,750,000, just shy of nine big blinds, he moved all-in over the top to force out the blinds.

Daniel Koloszar: J♣10♦
Rafi Elharar: K♥Q♥

Elharar recorded the showdown with his smart phone and was at risk of suffering another setback on the A♣10♠6♦ flop. He then made broadway with the J♥ turn and needed to fade only jacks and tens.

The river was the 5♥ and Koloszar was eliminated in 5th place for €29,400.

Niveau 32 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Rafi Elharar bet 320,000 from the button and was met with a shove from Adem Marjanovic in the small blind for 2,100,000. Elharar made the snap call.

Adem Marjanovic: K♠10♥
Rafi Elharar: Q♠Q♣

Frustration set in for Marjanovic who lost a number of flips on the final table. Elharar improved to a set of queens on the A♦10♠6♠5♣Q♦ board to take out Marjanovic and reestablish the chip lead.

Artsiom Panasiuk moved all in from the small blind for 760,000 and was called by Tobias Peters in the big blind.

Artsiom Panasiuk: 9♠9♣
Tobias Peters: Q♦9♥

Panasiuk was a heavy favorite to double up, but a queen on the flop on the completed board of Q♣5♠2♥8♣A♦ gave Peters a better pair and sent the Belorussian to the rail in 7th place.

Niveau 28 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Deividas Butnoras: J♦10♦
Rafi Elharar: K♣Q♣

Elharar was ahead in a duel of suited connectors and nailed the 5♣3♣2♣ flop. It was all over for Butnoras on the 5♠ turn to make the 8♥ river a formality, while Elharar continued his hot streak.

Joao Tomas Eliminated in 11th Place (€8,975)

zedmaster84

Niveau 28 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Joao Tomas opted to open-shove for his last 565,000 and Daniel Koloszar asked for an exact count before making the call on the button.

Joao Tomas: 10♣9♣
Daniel Koloszar: A♠K♦

"I have never seen this hand win versus ace-king, and I am playing for thirty years," Barny Boatman pointed out.

The J♦8♥5♣ flop was a sweat with the open-ended straight draw but the K♠ turn and 3♣ river ended Tomas' run in 11th place for €8,975.

Koloszar looked frustrated and folded A♣J♠ face up to allow the other two to go to showdown.

Virgile Turchi: K♥Q♥
Rafi Elharar: 9♣9♦

It was a flip to decide Turchi's fate, but the board of 10♦10♣8♥10♠4♠ gave Elharar a boat and sent Turchi sailing to the paycage.

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

Ali Shahni pushed all-in from an early position and David Boyaciyan called all-in for 590,000 in the small blind.

David Boyaciyan: 10♥10♣
Ali Shahni: A♣4♥

The 8♠6♠5♣Q♦6♣ runout reduced the stack of Shahni to fumes, and he was in the big blind next. That's when the remaining chips went in against Boyaciyan on the button.

Ali Shahni: 9♣4♥
David Boyaciyan: A♣K♥

The A♥K♣Q♦4♦10♦ board sent Shahni to the rail in 13th place, prompting another redraw for the final 12 contenders.
