Zlatin Penev Eliminated in 17th Place (€7,825)

Livello 24 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

With 600,000 in the middle at the turn with the board showing Q♦6♦3♦3♥, Jorge Ufano bet 230,000 from the big blind. After about three minutes Zlatin Penev made the call.

The Q♠ completed the board to make it double-paired. Ufano took four minutes to decide to move all in. Penev went deep into the tank and stared at Ufano throughout his thought process.

Eventually, Penev made the call and it was bad news. Ufano turned over A♥Q♥ for a boat which was better than his 8♣8♠. The Bulgarian headed straight to the cash desk while Ufano dragged in a monster pot.

Julien Sitbon Eliminated in 18th Place (€5,625)

Livello 24 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Just as the tournament director announced to hold up for the three table redraw, the dealer on Julien Sitbon's table dealt the first card of the shuffle, to the disbelief of the Frenchman who was short-stacked and the big blind.

Adem Marjanovic on the button announced all in and Sitbon made the call for 170,000.

Julien Sitbon: 7♠7♥
Adem Marjanovic: 10♥9♦

Sitbon woke up with a pocket pair, but they were cracked on the board of K♣K♦10♣5♥2♠ to give the chip leader a better two pair than Sitbon who headed to the exit in 18th place.

Covrig Busts With Dreadful Jacks

Livello 23 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Sergiu Covrig got his chips in ahead with the J♣J♠ and Miroslav Forman was involved with the 9♦9♠.

The K♦10♦8♣ flop changed nothing but Forman picked up a gutshot with the 6♥ turn. Instead, the 9♥ fell on the river and Forman improved to a set.

"That's not a straight, right?" Covrig inquired and then gathered his belongings. He described pocket jacks as one of his most dreadful hands.

Marjanovic Hits Forman with a Sucker Punch

Livello 22 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Adem Marjanovic bet 32,000 from under the gun and was called by Miroslav Forman in the cutoff, Julien Sitbon on the button and David Boyaciyan in the small blind.

The flop of K♣10♦4♣ saw Forman lead out for 40,000 which got a fold from Sitbon and Boyaciyan, but Marjanovic made the call.

The K♦ turn gave Forman the impetus to bet 200,000 and was met with a shove from Marjanovic for 638,000 which was called by Forman.

Adem Marjanovic: A♠K♠
Miroslav Forman: K♥Q♥

A huge cooler as the case king lands on the turn to give both players trip kings. The 8♦ completed the board and Marjanovic secured a massive double up.

Schneider Busts Stanciu; Last Five Tables Reached

Livello 22 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Stefan Bittger lost a flip with pocket jacks against the A♦K♣ of David Boyaciyan to hit the rail.

The all-in showdowns kept on coming, though, as Traian Stanciu became the next casualty just prior to that. He was up with A♥K♣ against the 5♦5♥ of Florian Kraft via three-bet shove for 272,000.

On a board of 8♠6♠2♣7♠10♥, the mighty pair held and the field was down to the last five tables.

Very little time passed before Candido Cappiello three-bet to 170,000 with 25,000 behind. Christian Schneider four-bet jammed and Cappiello eventually called.

Candido Cappiello: A♣J♦
Christian Schneider: A♠Q♣

Schneider was ahead all the way and made trips on the 8♠7♦4♣Q♥Q♠ board.

Andrei Spataru then survived his short-stacked all-in against Schneider for 83,000 with K♦K♣ versus A♣6♥.
