Slowed Back Down

Level 17 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

After the flurry of eliminations, the action has slowed down. Effective stacks are now at 38 big blinds and will soon be reduced to 32 big blinds after the blinds increase.

Paraskevas Tsokaridis Eliminated in 6th Place (€7,250)

Level 17 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Paraskevas Tsokaridis

Paraskevas Tsokaridis jammed for 75,000 from under the gun and got a call from Simeon Spasov from two seats over.

Tsokaridis: {A-Clubs}{8-Spades}
Spasov: {K-Spades}{Q-Spades}

Tsokaridis was ahead before the flop but needed help after Spasov paired the {6-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{J-Hearts} flop. The {8-Hearts} on the turn and the {7-Spades} on the river provided no relief to Tsokaridis and he was eliminated in sixth place for €7,250.

The remaining five players are all guaranteed at least a payout of €9,420.

Level 17 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Vladas Tamasauskas

Vladas Tamasauskas raised to 21,000 from the hijack before Simeon Spasov three-bet to 67,000 from the button. Tamasauskas then four-bet jammed to about 360,000 and got a snap-call from Spasov, who more than covered his opponent.

Vladas Tamasauskas: {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}
Simeon Spasov: {A-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}

Tamasauskas was well behind the pocket rockets held by Spasov and headed to the cashier to collect the seventh-place prize of €5,800 after the {6-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{j-Spades} board didn't improve his hand. The remaining six players are all guaranteed a payout of €7,250.

Cosmin Voinea

After no eliminations for more than a blind level to start the final table, there were two in back to back hands.

Cosmin Voinea jammed his eight big blind stack with {10-}{5-} from the small blind and was called by Petre Laurentiu Chiriac from the big blind with {A-}{Q-}.

The board {2-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{4-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{k-Hearts} was of no help to Voinea and he was eliminated eighth place for €4,640. The seven remaining players are each guaranteed a payout of €5,800.

Vladas Tamasauskas opened for 18,000 from middle position. Andrei Nodea called from the hijack before Jack Sinclair three-bet jammed for 70,000.

Tamasauskas quickly folded and Tsokaridis insta-called.

Andrei Nodea: {J-Diamonds}{J-Spades}
Jack Sinclair: {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}

Sinclair looked good to double up preflop but Tsokaridis nailed a set on the {5-Clubs}{10-Spades}{J-Hearts} flop to take a huge lead in the hand. The {J-Clubs} gave Nodea quad jacks and Sinclair was drawing dead.

The {4-Clubs} completed the board on the river and Sinclair headed to the cashier to collect the ninth-place prizez of €3,710. The eight remaining players are now each guaranteed at least a €4,640 payday.

The action folded to Simeon Spasov in the cutoff who led out for 17,000. Alexandru Gavrilut three-bet jammed for 75,000 from the big blind and Spasov tanked for 30 second before he called.

Simeon Spasov: {J-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}
Alexandru Gavrilut: {A-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}

Gavrilut flopped top pair on the {3-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{k-Spades} flop and his hand held the rest of the way with the {4-Hearts} appearing on the turn and the {10-Diamonds} completing the board on the river to double-up.

"Were you thinking of folding with that?" Gavrilut asked while collecting his chips.

Spasov answered in just one word, "No."
