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.

Peters Burns Fingers With New Approach

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

Tobias Peters took a different line in the battle of the blinds by betting over three big blinds with a wager of 850,000 from the small blind.

Rafi Elharar in the big blind was nonplussed by this tactic and moved all-in comfortably covering the Dutchman. Peters grimaced and threw his hand into the muck.

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

Tobias Peters raised to 600,000 on the button and called the big blind shove by Barny Boatman.

Barny Boatman: 10♥7♥
Tobias Peters: A♥8♣

Boatman's suited two-gapper improved with the J♣10♦6♦ flop and he retained it on the K♥ turn.

"Slowly the ace or queen," Peters clarified but the J♥ river let Boatman double for 3,225,000.

Rafi Elharar then raised the button to 600,000 and Peters forfeited his big blind. Peters jammed the next small blind to get some chips back before opening to 600,000 on the button, gaining the blinds and big blind ante.

Elharar Sleepwalks Into Peters Pocket Aces

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

After over 15 hours of play Rafi Elharar moved all in from the button covering his two opponents. Barny Boatman folded, but Tobias Peters snap-called for 4,325,000.

Tobias Peters: A♠A♦
Rafi Elharar: A♣4♠

A dream scenario for Peters as he woke up with the goods in the big blind. The runout of 10♠9♣2♣6♣3♠ gave Peters a scare when the flush draw appeared for Elharar on the turn, but the brick on the river gave Peters the chip lead once again.

Rafi Elharar Eliminated in 3rd Place (€60,100)

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.

Peters Makes First Blow in Heads Up

Niveau 35 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Tobias Peters limped from the small blind and Barny Boatman checked his option.

Both players checked the 9♥7♠2♠ flop, but Peters made the first aggression with a bet of 450,000 on the J♣ turn and was called by Boatman.

The Q♣ came on the river and Peters bet 900,000. Boatman made the call and Peters tabled J♥7♣ for two pair to take the pot and left Boatman super short.

Boatman Denied Double-Up in Cruel Fashion

zedmaster84

Niveau 35 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Neither player had noticed that the blinds went up and Tobias Peters limped the small blind. Barny Boatman raised to 550,000 and then snap-called when Peters limp-shoved.

Barny Boatman: A♥A♠
Tobias Peters: K♥Q♦

"It's a good hand to make two pair," Peters told his friend on the rail.

The A♣8♣4♣ flop saw Peters change his mind, as he added "I need two clubs".

Sure enough, the 3♣ turn and 6♣ river brought a flush on the board for an unlikely split pot.
