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 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:
Tuna:
Both the turn and river were bricks and that reduced the field to the last 10 hopefuls. Vogelsang takes home €34,100 for his efforts.
Samuel Panzica opened from early position and Ryan Riess then shoved all in from the big blind to put his opponent at risk for 446,000 with the . Panzica took the flip with 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.
In the last hand of the level, Davidi Kitai limped in from the small blind and Emil Patel checked. The Belgian bet the flop for 30,000 and Patel called. The same story repeated itself on the turn for 90,000 before the Belgian then made it 150,000 to go on the river.
Kitai only had 380,000 chips at that point, including the third barrel, and Patel gave it some thought before letting go.
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 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:
Tuna:
Neither the turn nor the river changed anything and Odeen was sent to the rail in 10th place, missing out on the unofficial final table.
Eight different nationalities are represented on the final table, though technically it is only seven with Emil Patel being American but living in Finland for some time already. Below is the redraw of the nine finalists.
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.
Akin Tuna raised to 60,000 from under the gun and was called by Sergey Lebedev in the hijack as well as Samuel Panzica in the small blind and Rocco Palumbo in the big blind. The flop came and Panzica as well as Palumbo checked. Tuna continued for 115,000 and Lebedev called before Panzica announced all in.
This triggered folds by Palumbo and Tuna, but Lebedev said to the dealer "I would like a count please." It was determined to be 894,000 in total and less than half a minute later, Lebedev made the call.
Panzica:
Lebedev:
Both the turn and the river changed nothing whatsoever and Panzica scored a massive double to soar into the lead.
