Hans Erlandsson Eliminated in 14th Place (€63,550)

Calum_Grant

Nível 28 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Ami Barer raised to 160,000 from the cutoff and the action folded to Hans Erlandsson in the big blind. He weighed his options for a bit before committing his stack of roughly 1,000,000 chips in the middle.

A snap call followed from Barer and the cards went on their backs.

Hans Erlandsson: 3♠3♦
Ami Barer: K♠K♦

Erlandsson was rooting for a three to emerge from the deck, but none would come on the A♦7♠Q♠4♠9♦ runout. Barer's kings held up to eliminate the Swede in 14th place.

Ponakovs Survives on the River

Nível 28 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Lorenzo Arduini raised to 160,000 in the hijack and David Kaufmann called in the small blind. Aleksejs Ponakovs then three-bet to 1,000,000, leaving himself 15,000 behind. Arduini folded, but Kaufmann moved all in and Ponakovs tossed in his last chips.

Aleksejs Ponakovs: K♠Q♠
David Kaufmann: A♥J♦

The J♠6♠5♦ flop gave Kaufmann top pair and Ponakovs a flush draw to go with his two overcards. The 5♥ turn was no help to Ponakovs, but he spiked the 2♠ on the river to make his flush and double up.

Lorenzo Arduini raised to 160,000 in early position and Hans Erlandsson stuck in his last 360,000 from the big blind. Arduini called to put him at risk.

Hans Erlandsson: Q♥6♠
Lorenzo Arduini: A♦10♦

Arduini was ahead as the flop came 7♥4♠4♥. The 6♥ turn gave Erlandsson two pair and the lead, while the 2♥ river improved him to a flush as he doubled up.

Mathias Siljander Eliminated in 15th Place (€63,550)

Nível 28 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Owen Dodd raised to 160,000 in the hijack before Lorenzo Arduini three-bet to 475,000 in the cutoff. Mathias Siljander then moved all in for around 1,900,000 and Dodd quickly folded, while Arduini peeked back at his cards before joining Dodd in the muck.

The next hand, Siljander opened to 160,000 on the button and David Kaufmann called in the small blind.

The flop came A♣9♥10♥ and Siljander bet another 160,000. Kaufmann called and the 2♠ fell on the turn.

Siljander then bet 500,000 and Kaufmann called. The river was the 9♦ and Kaufmann checked over to Siljander for a third time.

Siljander then moved all in for around 1,700,000 and Kaufmann snap-called. Kaufmann turned over A♥9♠ for a full house and Siljander quickly mucked J♦8♦ for a missed straight draw as he headed off to the rail.

With that pot, Kaufmann moved above 10,000,000.

Fireworks Flop Sees Arduini Double

Nível 28 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Hans Erlandsson raised to 175,000 from the hijack and Lorenzo Arduini made the call on the button. The blinds got out of the way and a flop of 9♣5♥6♥ was dealt.

Erlandsson continued for 210,000, which Arduini raised to 560,000. Erlandsson then quickly shoved all in, covering Arduini's stack of 2,160,000.

Arduini immediately called and the cards were tabled.

Lorenzo Arduini: K♥K♣
Hans Erlandsson: Q♦9♦

The 10♥ turn saw Erlandsson's outs reduced further as Arduini's overpair turned a flush draw. The 2♣ river did not upgrade Erlandsson's top pair either and he was forced to surrender the majority of his stack to Arduini.

Kaufmann Survives a Massive Flip Against Ponakovs

Nível 27 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Action folded to David Kaufmann who limped in from the small blind. Aleksejs Ponakovs then raised to 210,000 and Kaufmann came back with a reraise to 650,000.

Ponakovs used three time banks before announcing a reraise to 1,090,000. Kaufmann then moved all in for 3,855,000 and Ponakovs called.

David Kaufmann: J♥J♠
Aleksejs Ponakovs: A♦K♣

The two players were racing with nearly 8,000,000 at stake as the 10♣7♠10♦ flop kept Kaufmann in the lead. The 4♣ turn was safe for Kaufmann, while he secured the double up on the 7♣ river to rocket near the top of the chip counts. Ponakovs, meanwhile, was left on an extreme short stack.

The 7♠6♣9♦ flop was checked through to the 3♣ turn where Tous bet 160,000. Kaufmann called.

The river was the 5♦ and Tous checked. Kaufmann then bet 650,000 and Tous called.

Kaufmann turned over 4♣4♥ and Tous lowered his head before mucking.

Dimitar Danchev Eliminated in 16th Place (€53,000)

Nível 27 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Right as Leo Worthington-Leese was being eliminated at the other outer table, Aleksejs Ponakovs raised to 120,000 in the cutoff before Dimitar Danchev three-bet to 310,000 on the button. Ponakovs then moved all in and Danchev snap-called for 1,500,000.

Dimitar Danchev: A♠K♣
Aleksejs Ponakovs: A♦3♦

Danchev had Ponakovs dominated as the flop came 4♦K♠K♥ to give him trips. "You're almost as dead as the other guy," tablemate Lorenzo Arduini, referencing Worthington-Leese's bustout, told Ponakovs.

The J♦ fell on the turn and a murmur went around the table as Ponakovs picked up a flush draw. The 9♦ came on the river to complete his flush and send Danchev, the last remaining past EPT champion, crashing out of the tournament.

The remaining 15 players are now drawing for seats at the final two tables.

Leo Worthington-Leese Eliminated in 17th Place (€53,000)

Nível 27 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Leo Worthington-Leese limped in from the small blind before Sindre Hansen made it 360,000 to go from the big blind.

Worthington-Leese then jammed all in for 1,100,000 chips and Hansen called after mulling it over for a bit.

Leo Worthington-Leese: A♥4♥
Sindre Hansen: A♠7♠

Hansen flopped trips on 7♣Q♠7♦ to leave Worthington-Leese drawing to a runner-runner chop. The 2♠ turn sealed the fate of Worthington-Leese and the A♦ river rolled off while he took his exit in 17th place.

Francesco Delfoco Eliminated in 18th Place (€46,050)

Calum_Grant

Nível 27 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

On the first hand of play, Francesco Delfoco moved all in for 1,175,000 from the cutoff and was snap-called Hans Erlandsson from the big blind.

"A classic confrontation," commented Barny Boatman as the cards were tabled.

Francesco Delfoco: 7♥3♦
Hans Erlandsson: A♥A♣

Delfoco's time at the feature table was over after his speculative holding could not leap frog the aces on the 9♦9♣2♣4♠8♠ runout.
