First Pots to Arruda

Level 22 : 12,000/24,000, 3,000 ante

William Arruda opened to 50,000 from under the gun and Timothy Adams in the cutoff as well as Ryan Riess in the big blind called. Riess checked, Arruda continued and both opponents folded to award the pot to the Brazilian.

The next hand, Adams raised to 55,000 from the hijack and Arruda's big three-bet to 175,000 out of the big blind enforced another fold.

Jerry Odeen Eliminated in 10th Place (€34,100)

Level 22 : 12,000/24,000, 3,000 ante
Jerry Odeen
Jerry Odeen

Jerry Odeen, who had just been moved over to table one, defended his big blind against a raise of Akin Tuna. The latter then continued on the flop {J-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{3-Spades} and Odeen check-raised all in. Tuna didn't even ask for a count and snapped off the less than 400,000 in chips.

Odeen: {Q-Hearts}{J-Hearts}
Tuna: {K-Hearts}{K-Spades}

Neither the {5-Diamonds} turn nor the {10-Clubs} river changed anything and Odeen was sent to the rail in 10th place, missing out on the unofficial final table.

Kitai Empties Clip Against Patel

Level 22 : 12,000/24,000, 3,000 ante

In the last hand of the level, Davidi Kitai limped in from the small blind and Emil Patel checked. The Belgian bet the {A-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{5-Spades} flop for 30,000 and Patel called. The same story repeated itself on the {4-Hearts} turn for 90,000 before the Belgian then made it 150,000 to go on the {10-Spades} river.

Kitai only had 380,000 chips at that point, including the third barrel, and Patel gave it some thought before letting go.

Panzica Doubles Through Riess

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Panzica took the flip with {A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds} and spiked an ace on the flop to survive and pass the former World Series of Poker Main Event champion in the current chip counts.

Christoph Vogelsang Eliminated in 11th place (€34,100)

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Christoph Vogelsang
Christoph Vogelsang

William Arruda had just doubled up through Akin Tuna when making a flush with ace queen while AKin Tuna held king jack and rivered a straight. Then, Tuna raised to 40,000 from early position and Christoph Vogelsang defended out of the big blind. The flop came {5-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{3-Hearts} and Vogelsang checked.

Tuna continued for 110,000 and Vogelsang, breathing heavily while making up his decision, then check-raised all in for less than 300,000. Tuna called and Vogelsang immediately let out a "damn" when spotting the cards of his opponent.

Vogelsang: {8-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}
Tuna: {6-Clubs}{6-Spades}

Both the {4-Hearts} turn and {9-Spades} river were bricks and that reduced the field to the last 10 hopefuls. Vogelsang takes home €34,100 for his efforts.

Sam Chartier Eliminated in 12th Place (€29,610)

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Sam Chartier
Sam Chartier

In a battle of the blinds, Akin Tuna raised to 50,000 from the small blind and Sam Chartier defended his big blind to see a flop of {Q-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{2-Spades}. Tuna continued for 70,000 and Chartier counted his stack carefully before moving all in for 295,000 in total. Tuna made the call and the Canadian was at risk with the worse hand.

Chartier: {J-Hearts}{6-Hearts} for a pair of sixes
Tuna: {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} for a pair of tens

Neither the {8-Diamonds} turn nor the {5-Spades} river changed anything and Chartier bowed out in 12th place for €29,610.
